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.

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.

Butler Foods Soy Curls are a life-saver for me. When they arrive, I put them in the freezer where they stay until I need them which keeps them super fresh. The frig is okay too if I'm short on space in the freezer but I prefer the freezer. I've had some go rancid in the pantry but that was when I went crazy and bought 12 pounds right from the manufacturer and didn't know about the freezer thing and couldn't use that many. My bad. Soy Curls work in any recipe that calls for meat. I rehydrate them, season them, or marinate them in a sauce and then add them as a meat replacement. Lots of good nutrition here because the only ingredient is soybeans. My favorite recipes are Gyros, BBQ sandwiches, any Asian recipe, and tacos. Just google and you will find a plethora of recipes using these little wonders. GREAT product.

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.

Soy curls have been a blessing to find. So easy to use. They take on the flavor of whatever they are seasoned with. Good texture.
