Textured Pea Protein (TVP), Meatless Crumbles, 21g Protein, Vegan

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.

I love this, it's a nice alternative to soy which tends to dominate vegan/vegetarian food. Don't get me wrong I still eat soy milk and tofu but it's good to get protein from diverse sources. Texture wise I prefer it than a lot of other similar options and price/gram of protein is pretty similar to Anthony's TVP. For those unfamiliar to TVP it's highly diverse, healthy alternative to meat and was originally created for school lunches.

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.

Easily digestible and a good pantry staple for protein in a meal. I struggle to cook out the liquid I rehydrate it with.

I like this brand because it is pea based and not soy. The flavor adapts to whatever sauce is used. I use it for spaghetti and taco sauces.

I love textured soy protein so I decided to give this a try. It was so chewy it was inedible. The wholw bag went in the trash.

Works well as ground beef substitute.

Great source for protein. Easy to integrate into any recipe or as is.
