ALDI is an internationally known grocery store chain, and recently they’ve come out with a line called “Earth Grown.” This is a group of products that are vegetarian/vegan friendly meat-like substitutes. So far, I’ve had their meatballs, the soy protein burgers, the chickenless patties, and now the chickenless tenders.
What I like about these products is they have a clear list of ingredients on the box, but they also have a very big “VEGAN” spot right on the front. There’s no question what’s vegan friendly or not.
I prepared them using the recommended method, in the oven for 16 minutes, flipping halfway. In terms of texture, they were very similar to regular frozen nuggets, but they were kind of greasy. They didn’t taste too much like chicken, and honestly reminded me of fish sticks? I don’t know. They weren’t bad! But I think I prefer the Quorn nuggets in terms of texture. Morningstar is always a good choice, too.
Price wise? These are 50 cents to a dollar cheaper than other brands. And combined with the flavor, I’d say these are a re-purchase item.
I give this an 8/10.
