Veggie Meats Go Mainstream

The Globe and Mail reviews a popular veggie meat, Gardein:
It tastes like meat, looks like meat and even cuts like meat, but brother, it ain’t meat. Gardein’s “chick’n filets” and “beefless strips” are actually a proprietary blend of soy, wheat and pea proteins, grains (including but not limited to: amaranth, quinoa, millet and kamut) and organic beet root fibre. The resemblance would fool even the most blood-hungry of carnivores.

I’ve tried Gardein’s products – they have breaded chick’n fingers too – and they are so good they’re almost addictive. They’re available in almost all the major grocery stores up here in Canada. Even though I’m trying to drastically reduce the amount of processed foods I eat, my one weakness is the Gardein line of mealtless foods.
