Extremely disappointed it’s no longer GF
So disappointed you have changed this product from a wonderful gluten free plant based ground to a ‘me too’ product. You stood out in the past, you no longer do! Extremely disappointed longtime consumer with coeliac.

gluten sad face
Why did you change it to add gluten??? The old one was perfect and now there isn't a gluten free option for those who need it medically. Huge "miss" there.

Great Product, but Disappointed in the Rising Costs
I've been a big fan of the Gardein products since they first came out. Vegan, high protein, fantastic texture, and delicious. I love the products themselves. Even my non-vegan ex stopped complaining about vegan food after he tried Gardein. What I do not love, however, is that the prices have more than doubled, and in some cases even tripled in only a few short years. Meanwhile, the classic product selection is being phased out for the "Supreme" line, which I don't like as much. The texture is too "bouncy". Both the Be'f crumbles and strips are excellent for cooking and meal prep. Please bring back the barbecue pockets!

I prefer this to actual meat!
I love this product! I stumbled on it when my husband and I went vegan for a few months and we still use it over ground meat sometimes! It’s a great freezer staple and makes throwing a quick dinner together a breeze. My husband can’t even tell when I’m using it versus actual ground beef!

The Best Vegan Ground Beef Substitute
I have tried other brands of vegan ground beef but Gardein's Ground Be'f is the winner. It tastes the best over the competitors and lends itself beautifully to any recipe that calls for ground meat- Whether it's tacos, chili, shepherds pie, lasagna- You name the recipe and it will fit in wonderfully. It's also easy to digest for me. Thank you for a delicious product.

Not gluten-free anymore
I used to by the plant based ground be'ef, being coeliac... But the new packaging doesn't include the gluten-free label anymore in Canada... Is this product still gluten-free and suitable for coeliacs?

Delicious
This product was delicious. I baked it into a vegetable and potato dish and it was surprisingly good. The taste and texture was satisfying and it tasted just luge crumbled ground beef. I really lije it and will buy it again. This would be good in a taco.

Gardein Ground Be'f
Not the same , gave my entire family stomach distress . The old recipe did not do this , the new recipe is not gluten free . I used in a taco pasta dish and the crumbles looked like and had the texture of rice , almost like it had thawed and been refrozen.

Good Stuff
I will use this as an occasional substitute for ground beef. It is nutritious and easy to use. And it tastes good combined with seasonings. Glad I tried it!

Not Good Ingredients
I like vegetable broth which is what this seems to be. To make it flavored, yeast extract was added which is unnecessary unless you want to give it flavor and there is none. Then sugar is added and canola oil which neither of these things do I want in my broth, vegetable or beef broth which there is nothing in this to make it taste like beef broth. I am going to stick with Pacific Brand. None finer.
