This is my favorite meat substitute. The texture and taste is just like real chorizo. Try it...you won't be disappointed.
So yummy! Tastes like the real thing! Lots of cumin.
This is the best alternative meat that I have ever tasted. I was very pleased with the texture and how well it was seasoned. I made it with pasta but next time I will be using this to make vegan tacos or chili! This is a must-have in any vegan's fridge.
This is the best plant based chorizo. Please keep it in stock!
I use this so many times during the week, amazing my family with delicious dinners, since I'm the only vegan. Highly recommended!
It does not taste like the European chorizo but it is a great spread for your sandwich. A little bit high in salt.
I tried this twice but it didn't crumble well for me. I tried to follow the directions and crisp it in oil, but it is a paste and it's so hard to get anything resembling a sausage crumble. It sort of just falls apart. We ate it on breakfast burritos and it was like chorizo-flavored oatmeal. The flavor is good, but I feel like it needs more structure to it.
Once it's prepared, it's pretty good, but getting there is a disgusting task. The product comes in plastic tubes, which is a pain because there's no reason for it other than to look like a big sausage. But, you HAVE to remove it from the plastic (squeeze it out like toothpaste) to prepare it, obviously, which is very messy. The product has the consistency and appearance of baby diaper poo - reddish brown, sticky-pasty, oozing. The main ingredient is water. This means that the primary function of "cooking" it is to remove the water, which takes forever: a single package will take you 20-30 minutes of frying at medium-high heat to get the water out and to crisp up. And, the only way to get it to crisp is to add oil. The directions say "add a small amount of oil", but it will take a lot of oil to get it to fry, probably 1/8th 1/4 cup, depending on how patient you are standing there stir-frying this (the more oil you use, the faster it will go). Cooking it smells like burning grass, because, well, that's basically what you are doing. I could also do with less red coloring ("organic caramel color"), which turns everything it touches rust red and is a pain to scrub out of pans. AFTER all the time and effort and oil it takes to cook this down, then, yeah, it tastes pretty good and has a good texture. I wish they'd just prepare it that way and sell it already "cooked" (really, just fried) and crumbled and so spare us the disgusting mess of preparation. PS - your house will stink like spicy grass for the rest of the day. One serving has 90 calories, 6 carbs, and 470mg salt - not great numbers. So, unless you are desparate for this kind of food, skip it.
Soooo...it is deceptively shaped like sausage. It is not. It's casing is actually plastic wrap! When you squeeze the stuff out, it is like mush. The cooking instructions says it browns; it does not. It is terrible. The texture. The taste. Everything. Truth be told, I really want my money back!! If you are looking for sausage or ground meat like, stick with Beyond.
I don't like the texture and the taste is not anything close to real chorizo.. it tasted too bitter I use to by Roylando's soyrizo, but now they don't have it
