What are the best soy crumbles?

Question

In your opinion which ones are the best? I saw a few different options at the store but basically ended up doing "eenie meenie miny moe." Are the ones in the fresh section any better than the frozen ones? Or are some just better for different recipes? Tacos, soup, lasagna, etc.

I'm still getting my feet wet as you can see. Any help is appreciated!

Answer 1

Soy has estrogen. About as much as half a birth control pill. If you're a man, well you will grow b*****s and will decrease in size "down there". If you're a woman, it will mess up your hormone level and you probably won't be able to get pregnant. Which is a good thing in my opinion. Without meat, I don't think you can raise a healthy child.

Answer 2

I love Morningstar crumbles, Boca are good too. I also like to make my own with TVP.

Answer 3

i definitely like the morningstar ones best! even my husband, who is a meat eater, LOVES the morningstar crumbles.  the sausage flavored crumbles taste exactly like the real thing and are really, really good in italian dishes.

enjoy =)

Answer 4

I personally like MorningStar the best (as well as their veggie burgers), but that's just my opinion.  Since you're "still getting your feet wet," why not try a variety and decide for yourself.  Or look up a recipe and make your own. =)

Answer 5

I like them all. I use Boca in my tacos.  I also disvovered Temph, it has a more meater texture,  for meatloaf  and  cassoroles etc..  

Answer 6

I buy Yves as well as anything Trader Joes.  Good products at a good price!
