My husband and I love this product. We are vegan, but I think many people will still enjoy this in their meals.
It's basically just freeze-dried soy pieces. There are no added chemicals or preservatives. It is shelf stable. It is great for camping or "Meals in A Jar" type recipes. All you need to do is soak it for a little while in broth or marinade. It really soaks the stuff up, including the flavor of any added seasonings.
The pieces are not completely uniform, though most are in the size of "strips". You can break them up before soaking, which is what I do when using them for soups or chili. Also wonderful in pasta dishes and stir frys. Can be added to salads too. I think they are good but not great in "Chicken" Salad.
