Butlers Soy Curls

I was raised as an ovo-lacto vegetarian.  That means I eat dairy and eggs but not other meat sources.  I get most of my protein from plant-based sources.

I’ve eaten a LOT of different soy-based products in my lifetime, but when I saw Butler Soy Curls, I knew I just had to try them.  A lot of the TVP (textured vegetable protein) that I used in my over the years is just plain…  Umm…  Well, it’s not something that I really care for.  Butler Soy Curls looked similar, in a way, but I had high hopes for something better, and I was NOT disappointed, at all!

When I received the box of Soy Curls from Butler Foods, I also got a sheet of recipes to try.  Of these recipes, I tried a Chik-Style Salad and Spread, Soy Curls BBQ, and …

Butler Soy Curls Curried Rice.  I also tried adding the Soy Curls to soup, lasagna, and alfredo.  I was very impressed with the versatility of this product, and it was not salty like so much of the TVP is.  Soy Curls is a totally different product, but it also has a decent shelf life for a product that is 100% natural.

The next thing I want to mention is gluten, and this was something that was really hard for me to grasp.  All my life, I heard the term, “gluten” steaks.  I’ve even made them from scratch.  BUT Butler Soy Curls are Gluten-Free.  This surprised me so much that I had to question it.  I was told that Soy Curls are made from the whole soybean.  No additives.  Since soybeans contain no gluten, Soy Curls are Gluten-Free.  Isn’t that cool?

Oh, I didn’t mention the Chik-Style Seasoning…  Well, I haven’t eaten chicken before, at least not knowingly, so I can’t tell you if it made the Soy Curls taste like chicken or not.  However, what I can tell you is that this seasoning reminded me of something that my mother used as seasoning when I was much younger.  It is very tasty, and I have actually used it to season other things.

I would definitely recommend Butler Soy Curls, and I will be placing an order in the next week.  I like the fact that Butler Soy Curls don’t have the additives that so many other meat-substitutes have.  It is nice to have a protein source that is all natural!
