Vegan healthy doesn’t have to be tasteless. At least that’s what I found out about a new line of vegan foods now available at my local supermarket. That product is called gardein™. (A combination of “garden” and “protien”) Now I’ve tried several different “chicken-like” vegan products, but none compare to gardein’s products.

What is gardein?
Their web site, www.gardein.com, describes it as a tasty plant-based food with a meaty texture. It’s made from soy, wheat, and other plant proteins. It is 100% vegan, and is made from non-GMO products.

How is it prepared?
gardein is pre-cooked and edible cold, but is taste best when heated. It can be baked, broiled, grilled, BBQ’d or prepared by any other means. They even have already prepare items like Beefless pulled-shreds.

Does gardein come prepared?
gardein comes seasoned, and in some cases ready to eat. They have their gardein buffalo wings, and even Beefless Tips skewers. There are even ready to eat items that are ready in minutes, like Santa Fe Good Stuff (Chick’n stuffed with black beans, and corn), Chick’n shreds, (great for a salad), and many more tasty items.

How do I prepare it?
Lucky for you, in most cases you don’t need to do anything but heat it. But, if you are up to the challenge, visit their web site for some great recipes, including Chick’n Parmesan, Beefless broccoli sir fry, Chick’n pot pie,  and more.

When it comes to combining quick-and-easy with quality and taste, gardein has you covered.
