Textured Vegetable Protein, Vegan Meat Substitute, 100% Hexane Free, Made with #1 Graded Yellow Soybeans, 100% Vegan, Made in USA, Gluten Free, Just Like Chicken, Unflavored (3 Pack)

I really love this protein b/c it is low fat and very high protein and very affordable. I also love it b/c I can throw it in the pantry (rather than taking up space in the fridge) and it will still be good for year! It is an excellent meal idea for camping because this protein easily rehydrates within minutes. I rehydrate this in a faux chicken broth and it is delicious. After rehydrating the protein pieces, they are soft and chewy. To get the outside to crisp up you have to sautee or fry them on the stove top. I usually just rehydrate and throw these pieces on top of my salad. Now, the texture is not "just like" chicken. It doesn't pull apart like chicken so it wont fool anyone if you're trying to sneak it into a meal. If you're looking for an animal-free, cruelty-free plant based protein that DOES look and taste like chicken, check out Daring chicken which is more pricey than this option.

My friend made a dish I asked her “where did she get the meat from” she told me “from Amazon.” She showed me the one she purchased it was another brand I started to see other brands that was less expensive and more for your money after reading some reviews I decided to try this brand. I ordered this yesterday and it came 5am this morning. I followed the direction on rehydrating it and it turned out perfectly. I rehydrated it with some vegan chicken seasoning then sautéed it in a little olive oil vegetables then added some sweet and sour sauce and it came out fantastic. The texture is good although it has a somewhat little bean taste but overall I like it and will be buying again.

Although I am not vegetarian, I am trying to eat less meat and ran across this product when doing a general search for meat substitutes. I like this product a lot and will order it again when I run out. It has a good texture and I use it in everything from slow cooker recipes to burritos and stir fry. It requires no special storage and the long shelf life is good for folks that cook for one person most of the time. My one caveat is that if you use this product, reconstitute it in broth with salt and pepper and whatever seasoning that is appropriate for what ever you are going to use it in because it is very, very bland. The upside to this is that in things like slow cooker dishes it takes on the flavors of the other ingredients.

First I am not a Vegan, I eat fish and chicken. My Doctor put me on an vegan eating plan for heart reasons. I just made chicken tacos with this product using an air fryer. They were absolutely delicious. I wanted to add a photo but my carnivore family grabbed them and wanted more. They didn’t believe me it wasn’t real chicken.

My first attempt at making a General Tso vegetarian dish was fun and tasted great. Though I normally make my own sauces, I used the simply organic simmer sauce to keep it simple and less $$. After soaking 4 oz of the chips as directed, I tossed them in a nonstick pan with a little oil for browning, poured in half a pouch of sauce and served rice w/toasted sesame oil, broccoli, and walnuts. Delicious! I'd much prefer a compressed nugget shape for a firm chew, but knowing this brand is hexane-free is a relief.

This is the best vegan meat substitute I have found. It has no extra ingredients. It is very easy to prepare. It absorbs flavors from seasonings very well. I highly recommend if you are looking for a minimally processed high protein vegan meat substitute.

Thank you for asking for an opinion. I will not use it. The texture is sponge like. I can understand their goal to want a texture, but it has airholes in it that makes it feel and look spongey vs solid.

I love this stuff as a meat replacement. It needs some fat for it to taste good so add some oil or butter when hydrating. My only problem is that the small pieces NEVER hydrate properly. It stays firm and hard no matter what recipe or cook time. The big pieces are perfect but the small ones feel like rocks in your dish. or like a hard bean. Not pleasant at all.
