I am a vegan/vegetarian. [9 days out of 10 vegan, 1 day out of 10 I'll eat a dairy product].I loved it. It holds great once cooked [I made "neatballs"]. To me the flavor was less "mexican food" and more "falafel". Which is great because I love falafel, and these were pretty tasty in that same vein.However - if you are a meat-eater and hoping to incorporate more plants into your diet, you will be profoundly disappointed with this. It is not MEANT to curb the cravings for meat, but to supplement the texture and protein of meat in an already plant based diet.If you want to try it, go in expecting "Falafel". If you expect "falafel", this will not disappoint. Again, pretty tasty!It's just a little funny how some folks will transition to meat alternatives and then rate these food items really low because it "tastes or chews nothing like meat". These options aren't supposed to. [There are brands.. or rather, A BRAND of gluten free meat alternative that DOES ACTUALLY taste and chew like real meat, but i won't name it here]. It's for established plant based folks to have more food options, it's not designed to and cannot curb a meat craving and shouldn't replace meat in your diet if you don't...... want to replace meat.
