I recently bought some products from Gardein. I was hooked from the first bite. I've tried the fish (FAVORITE), chick'n strips, and the meatballs. Yum yum yum. I'm not a vegetarian, but I was looking for a good way to incorporate some soy protein. And it ended up being delicious.

According to their website "gardein is a wholesome range of tasty plant-based foods with a meaty texture. It’s made from soy, wheat and pea proteins, vegetables and ancient grains (quinoa, amaranth, millet and kamut®). gardein is easy to digest and free of cholesterol, trans and saturated fats. The majority of gardein foods are a good source of fiber and low fat too. gardein is also animal and dairy free."

I bought this from Hyvee, but I've seen it at Walmart as well. Their website has a store locator. And LOTS of recipes.

the above factors make Gardein look/sound very good. Especially - cholesterol free. bought the

crabless cakes and beefless tips. Will try tonight - only concern, they emphasize sauce not included.

Do you eat it dry, or do you need to add some type of ""healthy" sauce??? Inquiry minds want

Hi Kathy,

I haven't used any of the sauce that comes with the package. I wont either, probably too much added sugar and sodium. In the flat bread, I just added low fat ranch as the base to my flat bread pizza, but I didn't use the teriyaki sauce that came in the bag.
