Butler Foods, Soy Curls, 8 Ounce (pack of 4)

Strict vegetarians and vegans know soy curls are great, but if you're like me and still eat some meat, these are a good alternative that doesn't disappoint. I've tried TVP and just couldn't get used to the taste. I know there are ways to make it taste good, but I haven't found a way after trying a few bags. Soy curls taste much better with no work. If you need "ground meat," just crush these up.Nobody will be fooled into believing this is meat. It's different but equally good. The texture and taste are good, so I don't miss the meat. I've been soaking the soy curls in vegetable broth and a bit of ketchup for about 10 minutes, then straining and pressing them to get the excess liquid out. After that, I saute in a little bit of oil and these are ready to add to most recipes. Just don't cook them too long. After soaking, half a bag of soy curls is similar to a pound of meat.One major benefit these have over meat is that they're shelf-stable. You can have these in your pantry for weeks and they'll be ready to use with a little prep. Getting meat can be a gamble if I get busy for a few days at work; with soy curls and some other pantry staples like pasta and sauce, it's easy to throw a good meal together at a moment's notice.TL;DR for omnivores: Soy Curls are a great pantry staple and are worth trying, even if you love meat.

Soy curls made by Butler Foods is outstanding! Not only it is great taste products but also all natural, organic and no preservative ! Wow!

Soy curls, where have you been all my life?!? There are so many great uses and flavors you can do with these: tacos, casserole, enchilada, soup....They are easy. Just soak in broth and flavors you want then add them to your dish or sautee or bake or whatever.

Good choice for 'meatless mondays' ~ easy to prepare~ enhanced by spices or coconut aminos

This is the closest meat substitute for chicken you will ever find. It’s dead on and goes great in Americanized Asian dishes

These are so easy to prepare and you can add any type of sauce to them for flavor. My favorites are BBQ or stir fry sauce. I prepare chicken dishes for my family but I don't like chicken so these are a nice alternative.

I want to give it 5 starts because these are AMAZING. They are both healthy and delicious. However, i must give 4 stars simply because the crumbs at the bottom of the bag really are disappointing. if you try to cook them with the big strips it doesnt work because they will cook too fast and just become a charred crumb. and if you collect a bowl full of the crumbs and try to cook them all together you will find that they actually taste pretty bad. so yeah, it is kind of disappointing to know that 10%-15% of what your buying you just cant use and throw away every time. It would be great if they could figure out a way to sell these without them crumbling or including the crumbs in the sold product.

Good stood as always. I love seeing the amazed expression on my guests’ faces when they are told this is 100% vegan!
