Pantry Textured Pea Protein, Unflavored Meatless Vegetable Crumbles, Soy Free, Shelf-Stable, Gluten Free, 21g of Protein, Plant-Based Vegan Meat Substitute, Equivalent to 1.5 Pounds Ground Beef

This product taste like nothing. With that said, if you don’t know how to season your food, you will not like it. I can just soak this with beef broth and add rice to it and it’s delicious. It has a meaty texture. Some of the reviews said it smells like fish-I don’t really like seafood and I have not noticed a fishy smell to it. I recommend this product if you want low-calorie high protein. Be sure to mix with a grain for optimal amino acid absorption. I will be buying this product again. I bought this product in January and just used it at the end of February because I was nervous on how it would taste. You have to season it. Tofu (to me) does not taste good unless it’s seasoned, same goes for this product. I will say it’s a little pricey for the 7.9 ounce bag- but it’s worth it. I’m only writing this review because I saw negative reviews about the product and I think it’s a great product. I’m excited to try it as taco meat.

this is an excellent meat substitute and can be easily flavored to to suit numerous recipes

As good as TVP and better because it is Pea Protein Nice to have an alternative to soy granules Best taco filling recipe I found is on Shane$ Simple website and this product works great for it!

I mix it in with my granola recipe. I wanted to try to add a crunchy texture and make my granola have more protein. I can’t say it’s perfect, but it’ll do. I might try soy protein next time. It changed the taste a little, gave it a more peanut butter taste? But not in a bad way, still very yummy. The texture doesn’t really change or get soggy in the granola, which I was concerned about! Definitely not as crunchy as I’d like though!

Good stuff and so versatile!!

I have been looking for good “meat alternative” options ever since my husband started his vegan journey. I am so happy I found this one. It comes dehydrated so at first the quantity seems small, but just follow the instructions and see this product change like magic. The instructions say to add 1.5 cups of water to 2 cups of product. That’s exactly what I did. I made sure to stir it so the product and water mixed well. I let it sit (about 15-20 minutes) while I cooked up an onions and tomatoes base for my dish. The product more than doubled in size in this time. I used it to prepare a vegan “ground beef” and bell peppers dish. It cooked like ground beef normally would, except with a much shorter cooking time. The finished dish looked similar to the one I would make with ground beef. The aroma, flavor and texture were all there without the “meat” tasting strange or rubbery. The product absorbed the spices really well and the dish turned out looking and tasting delicious. Am I switching over to a vegan diet? No, but I will happily eat this alongside my husband. If you are looking to add a “meat alternative” to your vegan options, and are in need of a product that cooks up easily and tastes great, I highly recommend this.

Good for “ground” meat substitute, I like to add to soups for liquid absorption, but super versatile and good protein source!

Great, versatile protein source!
