Texture Eaters, Rejoice!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 17, 2023

Verified Purchase

I'm not one to give up meat, so this is purely from the perpective of someone who likes meat and is keeping it in their diet, but also has moments where ground beef is just too expensive. I'm a texture eater primarily, and that's usually what puts me off a lot of plant-based foods - there's just something off.

I saw a TikTok that had this in it, and I admit I was curious. It was on sale, I picked it up, and while I'd initially planned to use it in spagetti sauce, I was whimsically attracted to the idea of shepherd's pie one night and figured we'd go for it.

I'll warn that it seemed a little peppery on it's own, but if you'd handed the meal to me and not said a thing? I'd have never guessed it wasn't meat. It soaks up the flavor of sauces and spices really well, and it was an enjoyable eat. I'll be picking up more, because ground beef is just too much at times, and this really worked out!

Nice vegan tacos

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 17, 2023

Verified Purchase

I've been eating vegan meat for sometime now and so far this is my favorite. It almost feel and taste like real meat. I like that I can cook it in the microwave instead of using a skillet. I've only cooked tacos with this. Looking forward to other recipes.

Soy granules convenient but salty

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 12, 2023

Soy granules were a big hit with family. I think leave out the salt and hot spices and it can be used in more recipes. Too salty for many diets.

Hard to rate - it takes on what you add to it

I only got around to trying this brand of faux beef crumble today. I am around a 70% lacto-vegetarian for most of my adult life. Having found that the ethically-sourced bison meat I had purchased a while ago was expired and wanting a comforting childhood dish requiring ground beef, I had this in the freezer. I put in a generous amount of olive oil into the pan, dumped half a package in and was greeted with no aroma whatsoever (not necessarily bad) Oh my did this soak up that oil. Added more oil. Added more oil before I said enough and just dumped in tomato paste and water and stirred like crazy. I can say i did add my own seasoning just garlic and onion and only finishing salt. My there is definitely pepper in this. But otherwise it is totally neutral like tofu. No real flavor of its own and should certainly absorb any flavored liquid. I can see how it could fool strictly carnivore types in a dish requiring ground meat (lasagna?) Not bad and not terribly expensive considering costs today of especially meat and quality vegetarian product. Be prepared for it to need a lot of liquid seasoning. Keyword: liquid for it to absorb flavor. It is very dry.

Tasty Tacos

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 27, 2023

Verified Purchase

We are not vegetarian or vegan, I just don't like cooking meat. This crumble is perfect for me, it's quick and simple to make tasty tacos. I always add a lot of taco seasoning (while I cook it on the stove) and it makes for a quick and easy dinner that we both love. I also saute onions and bell peppers and add them in at the end for extra flavor (and veggies). I've tried other meat-less crumbles that just grossed me out while cooking (I think it was the smell). While this product may not be particularly aromatic, I prefer that. It takes on the taste of the seasonings you put in it and has the right consistency for ground beef, so it works great for us.

Great Plant Based Healthier Ingredient

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 15, 2021

Verified Purchase

This “ground beef” takes on the flavors of the spices and ingredients it is mixed into. I like spicy foods, so to me as a stand alone ground beef substitute the flavor is not bad at all, but it’s bland. The most noticeable difference to me, personally, is the texture. With that said, it mixes very well with other ingredients, which makes it less apparent that it is plant based. I have used it mixed with ground beef 50/50 ratio in soup, spaghetti sauce, and chili, and my die hard beef eaters didn’t notice. It was a first time test for me to see if I could successfully feed my professed carnivores some healthier sauces and dishes without them protesting. They agreed that they didn’t really taste a difference. I think they would have noticed if I had used 100% Gardein due to the slightly crumbly texture. I will definitely buy it again. It is a quality product that crosses off some important boxes for me - easy, healthy, plant based alternative. I’d like to experiment with making burgers and using it as a standalone protein in some other recipes, too. It’s not ground beef, but if you like ground beef, it’s pretty darn close with a lot less fat and calories. Give it a try.
