PURIS 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.

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

Am allergic to soy tvp. Can be used in most recipes instead of soy tvp. Much better tasting, too!

I have been wanting to try meatless pea protein meat crumble substitute. I tried this based on value and previous reviews. I rehydrated this with vegetable broth and then made a homemade sloppy joe with it. It was easy to rehydrate and it cooked well plus absorbed the flavors nicely. When comparing this ground meat, it's not an exact 1:1 on texture. It is a little chewy in its consistency. I would recommend it for someone wanting a meat alternative.

I bought the big box and packed most of it away for long term storage. I had some left over and cooked it with black and red beans, seasoned and hydrated it. Very glad for the purchase. Works well as a meat substitute. Your hardcore meateaters may find some reason not to like it, but those who want to survive will be thankful for it.

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.

This is very high in protein and is soy free.

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.
