Plant Basics - Hearty Plant Protein - Unflavored Chunks, 1 lb, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Low Fat, Low Sodium, Vegan, Meat Substitute

Simple soy protein to add to a meal. They’re lightweight and easy to rehydrate. I bought the unflavored bag. The flavor alone is ok. They’re better seasoned, but edible on their own. The chunks keep their shape. They don’t turn to mush. You get a lot in the bag. It’ll last a while. It reseals to stay fresh.

My wife has recently turned vegan. Besides providing a lot of protein per dollar, this has no fillers or junk ingredients. We made Yakisoba with TVP and it was phenomenal! 1. Tastes like whatever you season it with 2. excellent texture 3. Good size chunks, between coarse mince and large chunks

I instruct the fine art of Dutch oven cooking to Scouts and Scout leaders and usually have to accommodate food allergies and other dietary restrictions. This time it was the vegans. I was planning on chili and I wanted something other just beans so I tried Plant Basics. Go figure, it turned out to be a good substitute for ground beef. Had I not told anyone about meat substitute I doubt anyone could have tasted the difference. It was easy to use, cooks just like ground beef and was perfect for my dish. I'm not yet ready to dive in to all things vegan but I happy to see, and taste, that I have options. Great product!

I bought these thinking they'd be a low-fat, no saturated fat, no cholesterol meat substitute. I soaked some chunks in low fat gravy and heated them according to instructions. They were disgusting! I spit them out and immediately threw the bag in the trash. Perhaps I did something wrong, but they tasted just awful, both in texture and flavor. But then, not wanting to waste my purchase, I dug the bag back out of the trash and put it into my cache of dried last-chance disaster food. However, upon searching for high protein low sugar treats with no cholesterol and no saturated fat, and finding NONE...I remember my discarded bag. Opening it up again, I popped one of the dried chunks into my mouth. Very crunchy and chewy! Very satisfying! A tangy, nutty taste. Wow! An inexpensive, crunchy treat both low-fat and low-carb friendly! From disgusting to absolute dynamite! Bravo!

Sorry folks, this product is just not worth it. After covering with broth/spices and simmering til tender....... when you eat it it's totally spongey and not edible. Tried frying the spongies and still the same outcome. Too bad.
