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.

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.

So glad I was able to order this item through Amazon. Especially with the free shipping, that was a tremendous plus!
I hope you will continue to carry this item for future orders.

I bought a whole case of these things to get my required protein in. They were a bit salty for me on their own, cus I'm not a salt person at all and eat like a old folks home, meaning hardley no salt in anything. But, I boiled them in with my frozen butter beans we put up from the garden and Ohhh My they were delicious. I made a sub sandwich with them and was so impressed, I'm going to order them again. I hear they are delicious fried up and breaded, so I want to try that too, but i'm going to bake mine and i'm sure that will be just as good!

I really like these Tender Bits, fried in just a little butter. They are quick and easy as my vegetarian replacement when I'm cooking chicken or pork for the rest of my family. Good with gravy, poultry seasoning or any of your other favorite seasonings too.

Tender Bits are a variety of seitan/wheat meat and replace chicken breast in many recipes. They are best prepared sliced and sauteed until crispy with olive oil and garlic, and spiced according to taste. Prepared in this manner, they make an excellent topping for rice or pasta dishes, and are especially good when finished with barbeque sauce. What's great about Tender Bits is that they can be kept on hand in the cupboard instead of the freezer, where many a package of seitan has met its untimely end.

I am not a vegatarian. I tried these based on the reviews. I wanted something that was low in fat/carbs/other bad stuff. I need to lose weight and I love other soy products. So, gave it a try. This has become my favorite Loma Linda product. I add them to everything where I need meat or more substance. I use in stews, pizza toppings if sliced thin, chili, spaghetti, even small tidbits in a salad. They take on the flavor of the sauce they are in, but better than tofu because the texture is firmer. If texture is hard to get over you might not like them, but if that isn't an issue, this is a great product with so many ways to use it. Great chicken substitute if you are in a rush. Microwaves well. I love them.

after reading al the reviews, i tried this product and do not like the consistency. I found that if i cook it in the microwave for a few minutes before using in recipes it is slightly more palatable. this is not my favorite chicken substitute - prefer the fri chik over this product.

I love love love these. I wouldn't ever consider them a chicken substitute, they are unique. I had a roommate once who was a Seventh Day Adventist and she introduced me to them and I got hooked. When I moved from Fla, I had to search high and low to get them. Now my health food store orders them for me.

I don't know if anyone else eats them this way, but I just stir fry them in water on the stove and dip them in ketchup. My mouth waters thinking about them. My 12 yr old loves them too.

I make these and non-vegetarians beg for more. I'm forbidden from bringing anything else to potlucks.

I first ate these in a stir fry and they were terrible.

Then, after re-reading the reviews, I drained them, patted them dry, and dredged them in a flour/paprika mixture and fried them til dark golden. They're amazing dipped in BBQ sauce, honey mustard, a hot sauce/butter mixture, general tso's sauce - you name it. DELICIOUS! My friend's love them and none of them are vegetarians. Even my extremely picky vegetarian husband will eat them.
