Delicious, filling, and easy

Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2024

I’m not a vegan, but I prefer to have these when I cook a dinner for myself. It’s very easy to flavor these as chicken or beef, and then add a sauce. The texture is very similar to chicken, but you can use these in any meat meal. I also like that it’s more filling than meats. The only down side is that you need to add these at the end of your dish, so you can’t let them simmer in a sauce for a very long time, or else they will break down into a paste.

Great for long term storage in the pantry and prepping

Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2024

I come at this from a different perspective than the typical buyer of faux meat. I am not a vegan. I am coming at this from a prepper perspective and as someone that likes to make their house more efficient. I love the taste and texture of this product... after I add some tallow, bacon grease, meat drippings, hamburger grease, beef broth. You get the idea.

It is fairly easy to use. Soak it in a broth plus seasonings marinade until it is rehydrated. Dry it off and roll it in some flour plus seasoning. Drop it in a pan of hot grease. Get that sear and it is done. It will taste like beef, bacon or what ever meat flavor you rehydrate it with. It has a bit of a spongey texture, but it is a nice chew and the sear really sells it.

Now on to the frugal kitchen stuff. The price per ounce seems a little high, but remember you are getting about 3-4x the dry weight once you prep it. The chunks themselves have almost no flavor to them, which makes a good starting canvas. The only thing missing is the meat broth and meat fats, and that is where the frugality comes in. I save up my drippings from rabbit, hamburgers, steaks, bacon n sausage n egg fry ups, broiled meats especially. In those drippings is everything I need to flavor and reconstitute some of the faux meat chunks. Spatchcocked rabbit one day and faux rabbit tacos the next. Kind of like a meat extender.

As a prepper I love this stuff. I can take some dry beef bullion, dry taco seasoning, dehydrated refried beans, canned salsa, canned cheese, and long shelf life tortillas to make an emergency ration burrito that is better than any fast food offerings. So long as you have fresh water, a cast iron pan, and an open fire, you can have a really nice meal. Packs well too. I just made the said burritos with a cup of these chunks and previously mentioned ingredients and it fed two of us. You could pack a meal for 4-8 in a lunchbox. Great for camping and road trips as well. Far cheaper and better than any MRE burrito, but you do need a basic kitchen of some sort.

Great meat alternative for Vegans and Vegetarians

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2024

This is an excellent soy substitute for meat. These are dried "chuncks" that have to be hydrated. I use a broth made from beef flavored "Better than Boullion" to hydrate them. The chunks can then be prepared like meat. Great for stews, tacos, casseroles and salads. This is a quality product that is cost effective given the price of meat. Similar products have been used for a long time by vegetarians.

Great high protein, low sugar crunchy treat

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2021

I bought these thinking they'd be a low-fat, no saturated fat, no cholesterol meat substitute. I soaked some chunks in low fat gravy and heated them according to instructions. They were disgusting! I spit them out and immediately threw the bag in the trash. Perhaps I did something wrong, but they tasted just awful, both in texture and flavor. But then, not wanting to waste my purchase, I dug the bag back out of the trash and put it into my cache of dried last-chance disaster food. However, upon searching for high protein low sugar treats with no cholesterol and no saturated fat, and finding NONE...I remember my discarded bag. Opening it up again, I popped one of the dried chunks into my mouth. Very crunchy and chewy! Very satisfying! A tangy, nutty taste. Wow! An inexpensive, crunchy treat both low-fat and low-carb friendly! From disgusting to absolute dynamite! Bravo!

Did not feel it was a good chicken substitute

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2024

I didn’t like them it all - almost chewy and not like chicken at all.

great texture

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2023

After using TPVs in granular form, I found some soy based in chunks from a different brand. All powder and bad smell.
First thing I noticed is this product has no odor. I gave it a three for taste as it is neutral. Also no powder content, thus high quality. All other ratings 5!.
I tried as a salad crisp along with another brand I am trying. This product is a little more crunchy which is nice . After hydrating and pan cooking with vegies, it is a little less tender, but still good

Also, This may be a substitute for nuts for snacking.. gives me crunch with higher protein and less calories.

Good product, a bit pricy, but will re buy

Softens up in water or any liquid.

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2024

These little hard fluffy lumps soften up nicely in just a few minutes in water. I put a third of a cup of them in my oatmeal in the morning for a nice protein boost. They really don’t taste like much of anything, but I put a lot of good stuff in my oatmeal. They do have a very pleasant chewy mouth feel.
It is expensive at $16 a pound.
I was just at the health food store and bought some textured soy protein for six dollars a pound. I haven’t tried it yet, but I think it will do the job in my oatmeal.

Very tasty and a little bit sweet taste when you eat by itself. Good protein source!
