Received and opened today. Great - if you like to eat "Jerky" with a spoon! I had this about a year ago and liked it. At that time there were actual strips. Now it looks like their quality control lets bags get filled with crumbs. I like the taste but REALLY - I don't think "jerky" should be ate with a spoon! This wasn't due to any packaging crushed either.

First time eating Soy Curls so I didn't know what to expect. Tastes like jerky. They are actually pretty yummy. Just not a fan of the texture. I know that some people like soft jerky and others like hard. I happen to like hard jerky and these are too soft for my taste. I'm a texture person. The packaging keeps the curls fresh no matter how many times you are in and out of it.. I'm able to eat a little then seal it up again. I probably won't buy them again but that's only because of the issue I have with the texture.

I have tried absolutely every brand of vegetarian jerky and nothing comes close to this brand. Some vegetarian jerky brands taste like what I imagine dog treats would taste like, and the texture isn't much better. This brand is flavorful, has a unique texture, and a huge plus - isn't incredibly high in sodium. A great protein source, too, so definitely worth the money. I'm taking some bags on a backpacking trip so willing to make that investment for a good, non perishable protein source.

It's hard to do paleo/low carb/keto without heavy reliance on animal products, but the least I can do is try to reserve real meat and eggs for when nothing else will do, and substitute vegetarian and vegan alternatives where it is nutritionally adequate and/or real meat doesn't matter that much.

The price of Harvest Jerky makes it a bit of a luxury, on par with the cost of real meat jerky. It is softer than real meat jerky and the flavor is a bit different, but that's not a bad thing. My favorite pieces were the drier, chewier ones, though.

I wish it didn't have as much sugar, so it would be more compatible with a keto/low carb diet, but it is delicious as is. I bought some plain Butler Soy Curls (the base ingredient in Harvest Jerky) to experiment with. Maybe I will be able to come up with a reasonable homemade version to my own preference without sugar and perhaps chewier.

I paid about $8 for a single pack, including Prime shipping. Multi-packs bring the cost down closer to $5 a bag.

I love this stuff!! No joke, I have tried many jerky alternatives including both soy and seitan options. Each seems to be lacking . But this... The flavor is amazing. A little spice, a little sweet, a little smoky, a little salty! Another great thing is the chew. It is so so close to being the same as chewing regular jerky. Over all would buy again, will buy again, and have already recommended to many!
