Questions & Answers

Is this something you're supposed to cook, or is it more like beef jerky (where you just break off a piece and eat it)?

I tried it straight from the package, uncooked, and it was a pleasant mild, slightly granular texture treat- and I'm still here to tell you that I'm alive and well.

Where can I find nutritional information?

Although the nutritional information is printed on the inside of the label, it is also available on the Lightlife website. Taste, on the other hand, is subjective. varies depending on the individual.

Is tempeh able to be frozen and then thawed?

Yes, I regularly freeze it and have yet to notice a difference in texture or consistency.

Is there any gluten in this product?

I'm not sure, but it has a cardboard flavor to it.

The best meatless bacon substitute
5/5

I'm a big fan of this "bacon"! I've been eating this for years, and I've tried a lot of different brands before settling on this one. They do rip apart a little bit when you take them out of the package, so be cautious. If you don't eat the entire container at once, store them in a ziploc bag or plastic wrap (in the original packaging). br>br>The trick is to cook them in a skillet with a little oil until they are very dark and crispy, flipping them halfway through. After that, I usually put them on a paper towel to absorb some of the grease before putting them on any sandwich! Without a doubt, the best meatless bacon substitute. It gives you that crunch and smoky flavor you crave.

Horrible! In a skillet, I made it
3/5

It tasted awful in my opinion. I immediately spit it out and had to drink some juice to wash the vile taste from my mouth. The dog enjoyed it, so I gave it a star. Maybe I cooked it incorrectly, but I would not purchase this product again or recommend it to anyone. You guys at Lightlife know you're doing something wrong by trying to sell people this product.

If you don't mind that this isn't bacon, it's quite tasty
5/5

This isn't even close to being bacon. Bacon isn't going to be on the menu. This is not the product to buy if you want a perfect bacon imitation. This is excellent if you want something smoky to pan fry and put on a sandwich. I like tempeh, so a few slices of smoky tempeh on my lettuce, tomato, and avocado sandwich are fine by me. It's quite tasty if you just let it be (rather than adding bacon).

As it cooks, the flavor changes
3/5

This mildly flavored, slightly bitter, slightly granular snack is delicious right out of the package. br>br>You place it in a hot pan with oil and begin to cook it. br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br hot, but not shriveled, and extremely dark- Continue frying until the bitter flavor emerges and becomes unpalatable. br>br>Fry until shrunken all over, very dark, and STIFF [like bacon LOL], and you'll get a mild, vaguely bacon-like flavor. such as a treat br>br>More frying-related activities-related activities-related activities-related activities-related activities-related activities-related activities-related activities- I can't tell the difference by looking at them or by how stiff they are- The materials have been consumed and must be discarded. br>br>I'd say that this product is worth trying once in a while, even if you don't eat meat, dairy, or eggs, not to mention catering to those who don't. br>br>Because of the high price and difficulty in properly preparing, stars have been deducted.

There's too much salt! I like it because it's made without killing pigs and tastes great, but the salt content is way too high - over 30%! As a result, I'm not sure if I'll purchase this item again

Treat yourself to something good for you
5/5

This has a fantastic flavor, especially when air-fried. You'll end up eating the whole package if you cook it to a nice crisp, which is fine because the nutritional value is excellent.

Crumbles
3/5

I was unable to remove myself from the package without completely crumbling. I decided to go with it and sprinkled it on top of a soup bowl. I don't eat pork because I believe pigs are too intelligent, but I wouldn't buy this again unless I was in desperate need of crumbles.

It's very simple
5/5

I used to cook with regular tempeh once a week, but now that I've discovered this- I'm using tempeh a lot more these days. I usually boil tempeh before marinating it for hours, but this stuff goes straight into the frying pan! It's very simple.
