My family of carnivores loved it!
Made this into a bolognese with roasted vegetables and it was clean plates all around. I seared it as instructed then cooked for five minutes before adding it to my roasted vegetable sauce and cooking for a further 25 minutes in a saucepan. Be sure to follow the instructions when cooking. It is really important that when searing you do not stir it for the first minute or it turns to mush. Will definitely buy again and try making meatballs with it.
Delicious!
This stuff is absolutely delicious! My partner and I dont usually rave about veggie food but we love this stuff and have it in a spag bol/chilli most weeks! The texture is not the meatiest but adding veg gives the meal texture and the flavour of it is sooo much better than any other veggie mince I've tried! Highly recommended despite the bad reviews!
Avoid!!
I defy anyone to do a blindfold test and then describe this as any type of meat! I am trying to eat less meat and some of the burgers (e.g. Linda McCartneys Mozzarella Burgers) are great. But I cooked this up to go in a Bolognese and decided not to waste a sauce on it. It is dry and you have to keep adding oil to stop it going like dry breadcrumbs. Look closely at all the reviews there are a lot of bad ones.

A bit disappointing
This was OK, but not very flavoursome and more importantly it had a slightly mushy texture. Expected this to be a bit better than the cheap stuff but it was the opposite!
I never write reviews but this is vile! Do not buy
I never write reviews but this is vile! Do not buy - horrible texture & taste.
Meat free

Had to get used to not breaking it up as it cooked until browned on each side but that wasn’t a problem. Once flavour spice and seasoning is added this is actually just like mince [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
like a real mince
Review from meatlessfarm.com
I loved this fake meat mince. It's like real one . I tried many of them. This one is one of the best. Used it with pasta and tomatoes. Would recommend for everyone. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Bye Bye Meat Mince because this stuff is Amazing!
Wow! This stuff is FANTASTIC!! I made chilli with it last night and won't go back to meat mince now. Quorn has a funny back taste but this stuff has a fabulous flavour and brilliant texture. A great, tasty way to reduce cow farts adding to the greenhouse effect. ADD THIS TO YOUR SHOPPING LIST NOW!!
Really off-putting taste and texture
I've tried this a couple of times for spag bol and each time has been a disaster. The flavour is so sweet and needs a lot of seasoning to balance it out, and the texture is really mushy despite frying it on its own first (and the longer you fry it, the more it breaks down into crumbs). It absorbs a lot of moisture, so when adding sauce/chopped tomatoes, it just becomes a bubbling pot of grainy sauce. There are much better mince alternatives out there (Vivera and Alt have been great), and I wouldn't recommend this one.
