Profusion Organic Vegan Pea and Fava Protein Chunks, 125g - High Protein & Gluten-Free - Soya-Free Meat Substitute

I am not normally an advocate of meat substitutes and prefer to eat fresh veg, beans and lentils but as a vegan I like to add a bit more variety to my meals as my usual dishes can get watery and quite acidic with lots of veg, beans and lentils. This did what I wanted it to, it absorbs water and seasoning very well much like mushrooms or aubergine and adds texture to dishes, it also crisps up very nicely using an air frier without need for oil. However, I think I would have preferred without the salt (unsalted version?) and I am not sure whether the 'concentrates' contained within are nearly as nutritious as eating peas and fava beans which are great foods. Despite these aspects, the option contains high fibre, high protein and low fat content which is healthier than the majority of substitutes out there. I find it tasty but it is based on adding garlic, onions and seasoning. it balances my meal for me and also means I don't necessarily need to add as much carbohydrate such as pasta or rice since it is filling and satiating which I like. Overall, good and I will most likely keep for two meals a week to add some variation. Good price, available on amazon and Holland & Barrett which is useful and fair quality ingredients.

Love these! I can’t eat a lot of soya or Quorn and struggle to find a veggie meat alternative. These are perfect and so versatile. The suggestion on the packet of soaking them with a stock cube/bit of bullion/MSG is great and gives them more umami flavour because they’re tasteless otherwise. They don’t take long to soak and they’re a solid amount of protein for the calories too! Will buy again and again for sure

If you are allergic to soya, then these are for you. They are tasteless, so will soak up any flavouring that you add to them. A really nice alternative to soya

Absolutely love these and, being a soya intolerant vegan, that's pretty important! They are literally melt in the mouth chunks that take on the flavour of their surrounds. Very easy to cook with and no pre-soaking required. They are pricey and you use more of them than you would soya chunks as they are not so filling. So, you do need to think about adding something bulky to your dish to fill yourself out or, just suck it up and have more chunks ! I tend to make stews and currys with mine, delicious!

Love these- few ingredients, High protein, absorb the flavours that you are cooking with.

Wow, these are FANTASTIC. I'm reducing my soy consumption, and finally decided to give these a shot. They are better than soy chunks. The texture is beautiful, a great meat replacement, easy to prepare. Instant subscription.

I'd say they're ok. They do what they say. They take on flavour but do just taste like some weird rehydrated paste. Would be absolutely fine if it was space food, but I have just found my inclination to use them is low...

I've taken to frying some colour onto them BEFORE I hydrate them. They take the frying better. They work well in curry and most sauce dishes.
