Great for long term storage in the pantry and prepping
I come at this from a different perspective than the typical buyer of faux meat. I am not a vegan. I am coming at this from a prepper perspective and as someone that likes to make their house more efficient. I love the taste and texture of this product… after I add some tallow, bacon grease, meat drippings, hamburger grease, beef broth. You get the idea.It is fairly easy to use. Soak it in a broth plus seasonings marinade until it is rehydrated. Dry it off and roll it in some flour plus seasoning. Drop it in a pan of hot grease. Get that sear and it is done. It will taste like beef, bacon or what ever meat flavor you rehydrate it with. It has a bit of a spongey texture, but it is a nice chew and the sear really sells it.Now on to the frugal kitchen stuff. The price per ounce seems a little high, but remember you are getting about 3-4x the dry weight once you prep it. The chunks themselves have almost no flavor to them, which makes a good starting canvas. The only thing missing is the meat broth and meat fats, and that is where the frugality comes in. I save up my drippings from rabbit, hamburgers, steaks, bacon n sausage n egg fry ups, broiled meats especially. In those drippings is everything I need to flavor and reconstitute some of the faux meat chunks. Spatchcocked rabbit one day and faux rabbit tacos the next. Kind of like a meat extender.As a prepper I love this stuff. I can take some dry beef bullion, dry taco seasoning, dehydrated refried beans, canned salsa, canned cheese, and long shelf life tortillas to make an emergency ration burrito that is better than any fast food offerings. So long as you have fresh water, a cast iron pan, and an open fire, you can have a really nice meal. Packs well too. I just made the said burritos with a cup of these chunks and previously mentioned ingredients and it fed two of us. You could pack a meal for 4-8 in a lunchbox. Great for camping and road trips as well. Far cheaper and better than any MRE burrito, but you do need a basic kitchen of some sort.

Not ready to become a Vegan but it’s a start
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!

Whoa!
I do my best as a vegetarian but this type of product at first is just unbelievably gross.Rubbery texture…..Which got a little better with spices and trying to become use to it. But in the end I had to toss it and scratch it off my list! ð¤¢1 star because I had to pick one.

Refrigerate Overnight After Hydration for Great Texture
I made the soup recipe listed on the packaging. I used the Better Than Bouillon vegetable base, veggies, pasta, and unflavored chunks. The soup was delicious and the now flavored chunks were also delicious but very spongy, I thought Meh and put it in the refrigerator. The next day I tried the soup again and it seemed that the proteins has set up overnight and had a great texture. I was impressed with the chunks and intend on trying different recipes. I am not a vegetarian, so I will also try some meat flavorings as well. I intend on hydrating different flavors and keeping them in the refrigerator as indicated on the product packaging. Storage of this dried product is very convenient.

Texture is perfect
I have bought other brands and not liked the texture, tough, or taste, aftertaste.These chunks are nice and soft, and no unpleasant flavor. I made them in water with mushrooms, garlic powder and onion powder. Delicious! And a little bit goes a long way.

Great high protein, low sugar crunchy treat
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!

Good Meat Replacement
My family enjoys the meat substitute dishes, I make from these plant-based chicken chunks. Good texture and nice size chunks. Very nice substitute.
