Try Something New: Green Seed Vegan

Attracting countless new customers and developing a growing following, local eatery Green Seed Vegan has become a top-ranked and nationally recognized restaurant in the short four years that it has been open.

“I found out about this place over a year ago from the news,” said Aisha Morrison, “The founder was talking about the way a Dirty Burque was made and I knew I just had to try it.”

Green Seed Vegan began as a food truck in March 2011 with Matti Merrell and her husband Rodney Perry just dreaming of having a full restaurant one day in the future. They were finally able to achieve their dreams and opened their location at 4320 Almeda Road in 2012.

Immediately stepping into Green Seed Vegan, customers are transported into another world. A place that is full of natural and local products that all around empower Mother Earth.

Morrison said “The atmosphere here is just cool, laid back, it matches the food. I love it and wish I time to come more often.”

“Today I’m here enjoying a great tasting and healthy meal after my workout,” said Bryan Griggs, a regular at Green Seed, “This place is pretty relaxing and I love sitting here winding down after I put all that work into my workouts.”

The menu has a plethora of options from panini’s and wraps to smoothies and ice cream shakes that are sure to heighten the euphoria of any person once it touches the palette.

“I consider this to be one of the best places to eat in town,” said Riley, “The food is so good more than half the time I don’t even remember I’m at a vegan place.”

Green Seed is known for their vegan burgers, which instead of using regular beef or even turkey patties they have opted to uses buckwheat as the source. Not only is loved by the customers but it helped Green Seed acquire Best Vegan Burger in 2012 by the Houston Press.

Katherine Shilcutt ,of the Houston Press and that conducted the review, said “The Dirty Burque was as good as ever, it’s patty never mimicking meat but instead encouraging you to appreciate the savory buckwheat on its own merits.”

Featured on the walls of Green Seed is a chart that breakdowns of vegan friendly nutrients; it contains the beneficial contents, how it helps you, and uses. There was also a poster for a local farm market from which Green Seed gets its local produce from.

With the passing of Green Seed’s four year anniversary passing by just this last March 3rd, the future of Green Seed Vegan is hopeful to continue soaring high and bringing deliciously fulfilling food to the community for years to come.
