I thought that beef jerky, or anything that even remotely resembled it in taste and/or texture was a thing of my past. That is, until today! I had a very interesting find at a 99 Ranch market, an Asian grocery chain: SoySteak by iGreen+. It’s made from soy protein, is 100% vegan, and a healthful alternative to meat, 60% lower sodium than meat, 86 calories per serving, 98% fat free, no cholesterol, 9 grams total carbs per serving, 11 grams protein per serving, contains isoflavones, and is non-GMO, according to the package. Sounds great, but how does it taste? Absolutely amazing! And the texture was so close to how I remember the texture of beef jerky that you would never know it’s soy, and I felt like shouldn’t be eating it! The best part: all the flavor without being salty and leaving me thirsty and weighted down with meat. It comes in several flavors, including Grilled, Teriyaki, Curry, Peppered, Hot, and Light. I tried the Teriyaki flavor and I can’t wait to try the others! So, if you enjoy meat and don’t want to eat animal products; if you love soy nutrients and don’t like the taste, this is for you! You can enjoy these as a snack or add it to your favorite dishes. Enjoy!

I found the iGreen Soy Steak at 99 Ranch, an Asian market in Southern California. I've looked for it in other stores and haven't found it. I also tried to find a vendor online, but didn't find one. So I would suggest trying your neighborhood health food store, and if they don't have it, asking if they can either stock it or special order it for you.
