Product Information

Vegan jerky can be made from a lot of different ingredients, so if you’re sensitive to certain ingredients such as soy or gluten, there’s very likely an option out there for you! Common ingredients in vegetarian jerky include: Thoughts: It looks like a soy curl if you’ve ever had that before. We had tried this one before. We overall enjoyed this one. It’s not entirely there as it’s a little softer than what we remember – more moisture is the word we used. Andrew compared it to slow cooking first.

The Herbivorous Butcher’s chewy and flavorful jerky is seitan-based and comes in four flavors: Teriyaki Jerky, Sizzlin’ Cajun Jerky, Salt ‘n Peppa Jerky, and Korean Jerky. “Frankly,” Kale Walch, The Herbivorous Butcher co-founder says, “I think ours is more flavorful and the texture is spot on. Some people may not like that ours is a more realistic texture, but different strokes for different folks.” We tried nearly 20 different kinds of vegan beef jerky for this taste test. We looked for rich, savory flavors—the plant based jerky didn’t necessarily have to taste like a dupe for beef but we wanted it to be meaty in nature—and chewy texture. It had to simulate dried meat, whether it was a soft chew or a tough chew. (Personally, I’m all about the tough chew—the tougher the better—but I understand some people and their dentists would rather their vegan jerky not test the limits of their TMJ.) We recently came across several vegan jerky products and thought it would make a fun review and taste test. For this vegan jerky review, we were looking for what is the best vegan jerky out there. But there are other ways to make jerky that don’t involve farming animals. As you’ll see on the list below, today a number of plant-based brands are using ingredients like mushrooms, fruits, and soy to make jerky products. Because, while consumers might think of animals as the only “meaty” option for jerky-making, the terrestrial and marine plant kingdoms offer much more variety, flavor, and textures because, of course, anything animal-based foods can do, plants can do better.Meat Free Monday shall not be liable for any failure to comply with its obligations relating to this prize draw where such failure is caused by something outside of Meat Free Monday’s reasonable control. Such circumstances shall include, without limitation, fire, acts of terrorism, weather conditions, flood, strike actions or other such industrial disturbances or disputes, acts of war, hostilities, political unrest, riots or civil disobedience or any other circumstances amounting to force majeure. We had tried two of these brands before. However, we had never tried any of them side by side with other brands which we believe is really important when it comes to taste testing. How did we do the vegan jerky taste test? Wheat– Seitan jerky is made from vital wheat gluten and makes for a super meat-like vegetarian jerky! Vegan jerky has come such a long way over the past few years! We’re so excited for the rapid growth and innovation happening in the vegan jerky space and will keep this article updated as new products come out. Whether you’re gluten-free, soy-free, or just want a delicious plant-based jerky option, there are plenty of choices out there for you.

We had a very clear top 3 vegan jerky brands. For us, we didn’t care for the mushroom based jerky products at all, even Larisha who loves mushrooms in general. Consider flavor and texture. Some jerkies are made to imitate the taste and texture of meat, while others provide similar nutritional benefits. Vegan jerky is great because of the abundance of options, but it helps to know what aspect of jerky you want to imitate. Typically, the mushroom jerkies have a bit more of the chewiness of meat jerky, while fruit-based jerkies capture a close flavor with a less-similar texture.
