5.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars for the shiitake mushroom spicy flavor!!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2021
…personally… like 1 star for all the others? I started with a variety pack that included all or most of the flavors and wow, I was really disappointed? The flavor for most of them was fine but they were definitely slimy in that they’re packed in marinade, and I absolutely loathed the texture of the soy ones. Could. Not. Stand. It. I honestly wouldn’t have reviewed them, when something is so obviously not for me, but not like, false advertising or anything—just, tough and chewy, but slimy, and not chewy in a jerky way but in a strip of something that’s not food… a literal piece of leather rather than preserved edible meat?

And I didn’t care if it was jerky-like, I wasn’t looking particularly for a jerky fix, I’m just always looking for convenient vegan snacks that aren’t a billion dollars, something I can toss in my purse and forget about until I find myself stuck somewhere with no options and need something. This seemed perfect. My multi pack included 2 of each kind and I hated them all, until I tried the mushroom one. Omg, the texture was worlds better! Actually kind of jerky like, but a little softer, the flavor is great, I wouldn’t mind if it was less spicy, or if they used the other marinades on the mushroom base (because I’m never touching the soy ones again ever) for variety’s sake, but I think these are genuinely delicious and I’ve come back for the packs of just the mushroom kind a bunch of times since then, since they are exactly what I wanted. The mushroom one is also packed in marinade, so it’s also wet instead of dry when you open it, but I wouldn’t call it slimy, possibly because the texture is more porous so it actually absorbs the liquid, but just a heads up, it’s still slightly messier than like, a granola bar or something. Still, it’s a perfect toss in my purse for whenever food.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yummy - even for non-vegetarians!
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2011
I've been a vegetarian for 10 years (all of my 20s) and absolutely love it! Lately I've been really looking for good healthy protein sources that I actually like to eat, and these Primal Strips are excellent! These things scare me because they are so realistically meat-like.
I've tried 3 flavors of them so far, and there was only 1 that I thought wasn't great. It was completely edible, but the texture was just not as good as the others. I think it was the Teriyaki that I didn't like so much, but I really liked the Texas Barbecue and the Hickory Smoked flavors.

These are excellent low-calorie, low-fat, convenient, tasty snacks with high amounts of protein. You can take them anywhere, keep them in your desk at work or in your purse!

The only complaint I have about these is that I wish there were versions with lower sodium. To me, as someone who loves a good salty snack, but knows that too much salt is not good and tries to avoid it, these taste too salty. And 300+ mg of sodium per strip seems high.

But in the end I am overlooking the sodium and am purchasing these in bulk now! I just bought the Thai Peanut flavor because I love spicy foods, and I love Thai food! I'll update this review with my thoughts on this flavor after I receive them.

UPDATE: I received the Thai Peanut flavor and LOVE them! They have a great chewy texture, good flavor, and a good amount of spice. All for only 74 calories each, but 10g protein! I definitely recommend these!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not exactly what I'm looking for as a jerky lover
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2014
I am a jerky (Meat) lover forced to turn vegetarian for health reasons. However, I fall off the vegetarian wagon often but stick to it as much as I can. I miss and love a nice salty, spicy, chewy snack and found these with a lot of good reviews and so gave them a try. I have tried only these Hot & Spicy ones from Primal so far and plan to try the others. There is a smell and taste of vegetable meat substitute that's a bit off putting, but they are the best substitute I've tried to date. Don't get me wrong though, I am not looking to find a veggie meat... just a salty chewy snack like beef jerky. I like that they are made from something other than soy, I cannot eat soy, I'm allergic. I'm undecided if I will buy this flavor again, I have 20 more to eat.

What I like:
Texture, its really very, very good and its strongest attribute!
Heat, its pretty hot and could be compared with the heat of black pepper but could be even hotter for my taste... :)

What I don't like:
Smells like vegetable meat substitutes, based on this alone some people will not even try them, they could have a more smokey taste and smell that would help mask this veggie one.
They could be saltier, I am really looking for a good salty snack here, and these aren't really meeting this need for me, taste more sweet than salt. I like the sweet but would like more salt.
The slight taste of licorice, I do like licorice but I wouldn't normally eat it with jerky.

These are good enough that I will try some of the other flavors in hopes that one of them will be "the one".

5.0 out of 5 stars Still the best
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2024
Even after so many years, through the boom of hyper-realistic meatless alternatives, this is still the best vegan jerky on the market. It's toothsome but not tough, with a tender chew that satisfies but doesn't destroy my teeth. It's high in protein (naturally), no crazy ingredients, and perfectly packaged in single servings. I always have one in my bag for snacking emergencies since it won't melt like many sweet protein bars or chocolate treats.

It's gotten a lot harder to find in stores, and NO ONE carries the Thai peanut anymore, which is my favorite, so thank goodness I can stock up here! Compared to similar snacks, the price is quite reasonable.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wouldn't feed them to my dog
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2024
Who is writing these 4 and 5 star reviews? Are we getting the same product? These are gross I wouldn't feed them to a dog.

Texture is rubbery and slick. And it does not taste good. Each family member took 1 bite and went straight to the trash. Too bad I can't return them. There's no one I don't like enough to give them away to either. Yuck.
