PURIS Pantry Textured Pea Protein, Unflavored Meatless Crumbles, Soy Free, Shelf-Stable, Gluten Free, 21g of Protein, Plant-Based Vegan Meat Substitute Made, Equivalent to 1.5 Pounds Ground Beef

I have a touchy constitution and I find it doesn't cause any problems. It's fairly bland so you have to spice it but once you do it's a hit. The texture is a little tough if you use the directions, it's better at 1:1 and don't add any salt until the end, cooking away the liquid takes more like 8-10 minutes than but the end texture is closer to what youi'd want. Also good to add a bit of oil, like avocado. So far it been good in pasta sauce and as a taco filling. I use about 1 cup at a time so it makes about 5 dinners which helps with the price. 2 cups would be a lot.

We love this stuff - makes nearly perfect ground beef. Wonderful taco meat! We find the 5lb an amazing value, took us nearly 3 month to work through the bag. Shelf stable, and flavors to whatever you season it with…just fantastic protein substitute!

Good source of plant based protein.

This pea protein is a rare find.It really does tast/feel just like meat when mixed in other foods. I use it to make "pea-a-roni" macaroni and seasoning, maybe tomato sauce too. Add it to spaghetti and you can't tell the difference, its like you're eating spaghetti and meat.I even made it taste like crunchy bacon bits on a salad. The only draw back for ME is, it is FILLING. I don't like having that "full" feeling because it bothers me at work.You don't need much either. I only use 1/4 a cup in a meal, thta's enough for me. It has a lot of protein packed in a small serving!So, be prepared to be filled-up after adding this, it is a clean protein and didn't cause any inflammation to me or weird food sensitivuty issue, which I now get when eating store bought meats, which is why I had to get plant based proteins like this one.

This stuff is amazing for and vegan diet. Far better than plant boss which has now been discontinued. This stuff is like a blank slate.

Really enjoyed this brand. I will definitely purchase more.

I've tried several pea and soy protein crumbles, (and if you've ever eaten meat from most popular fast food restaurants you have as well) but this was my first time trying unflavored crumbles. I don't think I like it. The preflavored ones seem to take flavor better than adding it after the fact. Seasoning didn't really seem to marinate this pea protein very well. Perhaps flavored broth or stock would, but I wasn't a huge fan of the unflavored aspect of it. Despite the instructions not saying to try this, I'm going to try it with some beef flavored broth and see it that improves it's ability to absorb and retain flavor. Texture wise it's similar to most veggie crumbles albeit on the smaller size. It certainly wasn't bad, and for the right price I'd order it again forging my usual brand which is quite pricey.

Much better than the competition. More protein specifically!
