Beyond Meat Plant-Based Jerky, Original & Teriyaki Variety Pack, 10g Protein, 1oz Bags (10 Pack)

I’ve stopped eating meat in 2018, but when I used to eat it, I loved jerky. Unfortunately, most of the meatless jerky I’ve tried taste like plastic. But not this beyond meat jerky! There’s so much taste and it’s not weird to chew on. Tried it for the first time in Florida, after that ordered this bundle right away to be delivered to our house in Ohio, while still on vacation in Florida 😅 if you’re on the verge of trying it, because you think it might taste just like any other meatless jerky, just try it, it’s worth it.

Thank you Beyond for releasing this excellent product. I hope that this review helps you to create more products that people will enjoy.PROS:1. Compared to other brands of Vegan Jerry, this is the closest to the real thing! Doesn't taste like dog food! Texture is a but softer than regular jerky but the tastes us phenomenal.I was a jerky nut before being vegan and this has definitely satisfied one of the few pre-vegan needs that I have been longing.2. The price point for this being a vegan jerky is not so bad. I'm used to paying a premium for a Taiwanese brand which was the closest jerky for me until this one at about $6 and some change for 3.5oz. With free shipping and one One Day deliver with Prime, this levels the cost if not be even cheaper.It also comes in its own Beyond Meat Jerky.CONS:1. While price was a pro amongst other vegan jerkys, it is still quite high compared to meat jerkys per ounce and may be off putting for some that want to try it. At the time of this review it was at $1.83 per ounce. I'm hoping it goes to around $1.40 eventually.I also understand since it is vegan, there are costs for research and many other costs that need to be off-setted.Still, this is a really good price for vegans. Hopefully it becomes a mainstream competitor.

I am a big fan of Beyond Meat. They truly have revolutionized the market. I do use their products although I am not a huge fan of meat - even faux - most meals are without any "substitutes". I have tried the big bags of this jerky - got it from a local pharmacy so thought I would try these smaller bags in two flavors. I do enjoy a good jerky when I have a hankering.But I noticed that these smaller bags are VERY different from the big giant bag. First the meat is meatier and a bit moist in the big bag. The smaller bags are VERY dry. The larger bags have LARGE pieces of meat. The smaller bags have just smaller pieces of meat. I am also not a huge fan of the Teriyaki flavor - mush prefer the original here. And if you knew me - you would know that is weird as I love Teriyaki. Here the Teriyaki is MUCH tougher to eat and chew - far too much of a chore.So huge fan of the brand but will exclusively stick to the larger bags going forward. Wish they were available on Amazon - but only seem to be available through Amazon Fresh...

I am not a vegetarian, nor am I vegan. However, for humanitarian reasons, I have not ( knowingly) eaten any four legged animals for almost 2 decades. Yes, I’m trying to avoid buying leather stuff also.. I miss a good beef stew or steak , but always picture the poor cow that would be slaughtered to make it and can’t bring myself to participate in that process. I found this product because I have been buying other Beyond Meat products for several years. This really satisfies my craving for a chewy, salty, meaty snack. Have only tried the teriyaki flavor so far, but really like it. It isn’t a hot spicy, which is fine with me. For people who have to watch their sodium intake or have nut allergies, this may not be a good choice for you , but I really recommend it for anyone else trying to opt out of the animal slaughter process. It’s better for the animals and for our planet! Amazon, please bring this product back! Walmart has it. Why don’t you?

I am a vegan and it is challenging to find tasty snacks that don't have soy in them. These are a winner in my book! And they are soy free. I buy the larger sized bags now as I was going thru the smaller bags too quickly. Out of all 3 flavors available, I really like the spicy (for me, just the right amount of spice!) and the regular flavor. Never in my life have I ever eaten real beef jerky so there will be no comparison coming from me. If you are a former meat eater, let me say this. Going from any meat snacks (or food for that matter) to anything vegetarian or vegan, is NOT going to taste like meat. So, just get passed that.If you don't eat meat and are looking for a tasty snack that you can take on the road, give these a try. I also like that the bags reseal, which makes them easy to travel with.

This is about what you expect of vegan jerky taste and texture-wise, but it’s also not the worst option I’ve had either. Do with that what you will.

I already like the product, it's just that it's difficult to find in the stores near me. I found this box of small packages here on Amazon and figured I'd give it a try. I like the original flavor out of the three that this company offers, and the original has the texture/chewiness level I enjoy most. I like that this jerky does not contain gluten, nor does it contain soy, but uses pea protein instead, thereby eliminating two big-time foods that provoke food intolerance in some of us unlucky folks. I'd order it again... we'll see if Beyond Meat continues to make this product or not. I hope so, as so many other plant-based jerky products contain either soy or seitan/gluten "meat."
