Vegan jerky?? I love cruelty free options – so I had to try Primal Spirit Vegan Jerky!
First of all, appearance! The packaging grabs your eye. I like that the nutrition facts and ingredients are displayed right on the front. From the little window in the back, you can see it even looks like your typical jerky. The texture is similar to real jerky, although it varies from each flavor depending on the ingredients.
Next, we come to nutrition. Each jerky piece contains ten grams of high energy plant protein. That makes it a great and convenient snack for those on the go. Primal Strips Vegan Jerky is certified non-GMO – with no preservatives or artificial ingredients! Instead of meats, they are made with ingredients such as soy protein, seitan powder, and shiitake mushrooms.
Finally, and most important, taste! Most of these were nice and moist – not super difficult to chew. The flavors were bold for the most part. There was only one I did not care for – the Teriyaki. It seemed dry compared to the others and did not bring to mind teriyaki at all.
That being said, everyone’s tastes are different and the others were a hit!! Even my dad and brother who do not generally go for vegan options approved. My absolute favorite was the Hot & Spicy, Sweet & Savory. This was the only one made with shiitake mushrooms. The texture was perfect and the flavor was as well – not too spicy, not too sweet! A close runner-up was the Thai Peanut.
In conclusion, if you like jerky – give these a try! Even if you aren’t vegan they make a tasty and nutritious snack.
