About the Brand

For more than 65 years, Worthington and Loma Linda have created new and innovative products for consumers looking for vegetarian options.

Worthington Foods began as Special Foods in 1939, founded by psychiatrist Dr. George Harding. Dr. Harding was committed to providing health for the body and mind with an emphasis on nutrition and vegetarianism. The first products were the meat alternatives Proast (dark meat) and Numete (light meat). Special Foods grew throughout the years and saw a jump in production due to a shortage of meat during WWII. In 1945, Special Foods changed its name to Worthington.

In the decades to follow, Worthington Foods led the way to new vegetarian products. During the 1950s, Worthington increased in size due to acquisitions and new product developments, such as Soyamel and Veja-Link, the world's first vegetarian hot dog. In the 1960s, Worthington experienced two major breakthroughs. First, using spun soy fiber to create a meat-like texture helped to bring new vegetarian products to market. Second, Worthington was the first to bring frozen vegetarian food into supermarkets.

In the 1970s, under new ownership by Miles Laboratories, Worthington introduced Morningstar Farms products. In 1982, the original founders bought back the business and, soon after, Dale Twomley became CEO, taking the company public in 1992. You now find these products under the Kellogg's family of brands.

I've been eating these for about 40 years. My mother used to cook them when I was a kid and I still eat them today. I've been having trouble finding them since I moved to NC and wa delighted to find them on Amazon. Coat them in cracker crumb/flour/yeast and fry them in toasted sesame oil.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still my favorite food, August 9, 2006

Tender Bits are my absolute favorite food in the world, and I'm not even vegetarian. Coat them in a mixture of flour, brewer's yeast, and whatever else you want; fry them up in olive oil; and enjoy! Do whatever my grandmother does to them and you'll know why they're my favorite. Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!

I am SO HAPPY to see them on Amazon. It's hard to get my hands on these little buggers living overseas with the military.
