So impressed, really close to real meat!
Well, this was a surprise! I have tried making mock-ground beef before with tofu, but this is waaay better. The taste was great, and neutral enough that you can add your own spices to adapt it to whatever recipe. I just added chopped garlic and had it with loaded potatoes. The texture is great. Very close to ground beef. I found the price to be very close to - if not cheaper than - real ground beef! You can a good amount in 1 package that it works for 4 servings (or in my case, 2 meals for 2 people). And so much protein! I highly recommend this product!
I used these for everything
These are by far the best vegan meat substitute. I use them for spaghetti, nachos, tacos, beef patties, if anything calls for ground beef this what I use.
Strong taste
This product has a strong flavour so you must be prepared to spice according. It’s perfect in taco seasoning and I don’t feel like I’m missing out on beef when I eat it .
Couldn't tell the difference
I made tacos few nights ago and my dad and brother couldn't tell that I didn't use beef. Well my brother knew and he said you can't tell beef wasn't used. When I tried it, tasted like beef, but it wasn't. Cooks fast and no grease.
Why wouldn't you?
I used to eat a lot of ground beef when I wasn't vegan. It was bad for me and I knew it, heart problems, high cholesterol, fat, high blood pressure. As soon as this baby came to market, why the hell wouldn't I change? (Yves ground is great too, I hate Yves meat usually so it came as a surprise.)
Get a taco seasoning and make this into tacos or burritos it's great.
Awesome.
I'm not vegan or vegetarian but I enjoy some of their food. And I also can't disgust meat well. This is the absolute best meatless ground! It's delicious and it doesn't taste like soybeans. The consistency isn't of meat but its pretty similar. My vegetarian brother got me hooked to this stuff! It is cheap and you get a lot with it! I can make two meals for three people or one big meal out of this. It cooks really well, just make sure you don't over cook it as with other vegetarian meatless ground it goes crunchy.
So convincing, even my husband loves it! This is the absolute best substitute for a beefless ground on the market AND gluten free, woohoo! Very savoury, full of flavour, and chews just like the real thing... no gummy chewy consistency! Made this in a pasta one time and my dad (a real meat lover!) had no clue his meal was entirely vegan. This is the perfect transition food for meat lovers looking to make a conscious switch or those who enjoy a meatless Monday now and then! Save On Foods consistently has Gardein products on sale about once a month as well, so you can stock up your freezer for about $2.99 a package (of this product as well as others from the Gardein line)!! Makes at home dining so much easier when you are on the go. An excellent choice for busy moms, college students, and the health and environmentally conscious! Very affordable, easy to make, and super versatile. Make anything from moussaka, layered nachos, and even a beefless pot pie!
