Are the vegetarian meat substitutes more tasty than regular ones and what can you expect from them?

Let´s take a closer look at the meat alternatives we offer you in our shop. What are they made of? How do they taste? Are they different from regular meat? How can we use them for cooking?

Soy chorizo

It is a soy-based sausage alternative that mimics the strong, pungent flavour of a Mexican chorizo and is almost indistinguishable from an animal one. This soy alternative acts and tastes almost exactly the same as a regular Mexican chorizo but it has a lot lower fat (about 60 % less). It is fully flavoured, delicious and easy to use. Just cook it as a regular one and add it anywhere where you can use regular chorizo (e.g. soup, taco, stew, burrito).

For better inspiration how to use a soy chorizo, here are some recipes you can check in our recipe section.

Chick’n

Chick’n is a substitute for chicken and it has the same flavour and texture as a regular chicken, just the main ingredient is soy. In our case it comes in a form of nuggets but the chick´n products in general are better to sear quickly in a pan than to simmer them in a sauce for a long time. You can use this meatless alternative into the stew, salad, soup or as a main course with some side.

Try this vegetarian chicken alternative with some of our recipes from the recipe section.

Meatless „meat“

Vegetarian „meat“, unlike soy chorizo and chick´n, is a plant-based meat substitute made without soy or gluten. With its flavour and texture it really does taste and look as real ground beef or pork sausage and nutritionally it is similar to real meat (with less saturated fat). Cook this vegetarian product same as a regular meat only without oil in the pan and try to add it at the end of cooking (to avoid changing of the flavour during longer simmering).
