Gardein’s normally sell for $12-$14 in health food stores. Didn’t know Woolies sold them. The other ones in the range weren’t half price so these might be probably on clearance. Each packet is 352 grams
Quite a nice tasting product in my view. Not as bland/dry as some of the other vegan patties in the market currently.
Ingredients: water, soy protein concentrate*, expeller pressed canola oil*, vital wheat gluten*, soy protein isolate*, textured wheat protein (wheat gluten*, wheat starch), modified vegetable gum, yeast extract, sea salt, natural flavors (from plant sources), organic ancient grain flour (KAMUT® khorasan wheat, amaranth, millet, quinoa), potato starch, onion powder, organic cane sugar, garlic powder, color added, vinegar, pea protein, carrot fiber, beetroot fiber, extractives of paprika and turmeric. breading:enriched wheat flour (enriched with niacin, ferrous sulfate, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), water, leavening (sodium bicarbonate, cream of tartar), sugar, yeast, salt, extractives of turmeric, extractives of paprika and annatto.
*Non genetically engineered soybeans, canola and wheat.
edible stuff, like all processed food you’re eating.
Yep, big fan of these also. Not quite as cheap but $6 at Coles…
https://shop.coles.com.au/a/a-national/product/gardein-crisp…
Some Coles in SA have them for $5.50 in store. The one in Rundle Place had them for that price today.
These are really good veggie patties.
I think they are clearing them out though, not just a sale.
Have u tried it or
lol, another one who hasn't tried it
Why would I want to eat this trash? Taste or flavor aside, it's processed junk food
@elli0t: "taste or flavour aside" isn't that half of the entire purpose of eating? Hardly would call it junk food, has a fair bit of carbs but not overly bad for you. Not vegan myself but I have tried these and they taste nice. You're just being an ass for the sake of being an ass
@ColstonAUS: These are pretty bad if the majority of the food you eat is real fruit and vegetables
Might be ok for the average western dieter since they are basically crumbed oil
So far the only edible store bought veggie burger I have found is the coles homeband curried pumpkin
Maybe put 352g in the title or description.
Each to their own… but.. I'm surprised at the price for just 170 calories & 13g of protein… (about the same as 2 eggs = 70 cents worth)
Probably better than going overboard on the calories with a Big Mac or the likes though…
I don't think it's aiming to be a high-calorie, high-protein food.
My bad, 4 serves per pack, that's not too bad for $5.50…
Petrol's the best value for pure calories - 7750 calories for a buck-fifty!
If you convert the product completely to energy it's about 3.2*10^13kJ.
Done.
*May contain traces of chick’n.
Yup, it's quite processed, unfortunately.
But the rest is just your imagination.
You could have just run with being unhealthy compared to meat instead of making up stuff.
Your mean and ungrammatical "lonely and feeds there pet cat meat pruducts". Your "vegetable crop farm land destroys wildlife habitat." which is bending the truth and completely irrelevant.
Why so hateful? Because it sounds funny to you? Or do you think you're revealing some scheme against humanity? That would be heaps of imagination.
That people become vegan to live healthy.
Most don't, and the ones that do probably won't eat a lot of burgers.
What’s not eating animals got to do with being healthy
There's no requirement for vegans to eat this. And it still hurts the environment less than meat. Probably less carcinogenic too lol
Why does it affect you so much? Are you scared to eat some plants?
Thats not plants.. you want plants go to your vegie garden and pick some 😂
Many Australians have great trouble with the notion of processing being bad. They literally think processed crap is health food eg breakfast cereal, this stuff.
@Diji1: Does it make you feel superior to pretend that other people think something is healthy and then tell everyone that it's not? You're just stating the obvious, everyone else already knows. Nobody said it is healthy. Whole food plant based diet = healthy, vegan does not. Anyway, you'll obviously keep pointing out things that are extremely obvious to everyone else as though they don't know, so I'll leave you to it from now on.
So if you want meat, you go to your barn and slaughter one of your pigs?
It's as if people think vegan food is the same as the vegan movement :/
Look at the list of ingredients. I don't know how many plants can I really identify over here :)
Lots of highly processed extracts, looks more like a multivitamin pill than wholefood. "Water, Enriched Flour (Wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Canola Oil, Soy Protein Concentrate, Vital Wheat Gluten, Soy Protein Isolate, Textured Wheat Protein (Wheat Gluten, Wheat Starch), Methylcellulose, Organic Yeast Extract, Sea Salt, Wheat Gluten, Organic Ancient Grain Flour (Khorasan Wheat, Amaranth, Millet, Quinoa). Potato Starch, Natural Flavors, Sugar, Yeast Extract, Salt, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Organic Distilled Vinegar, Organic Soy Sauce Powder, Leavening (Sodium Bicarbonate, Cream Of Tartar), Organic Cane Sugar, Yeast, Color Added, Spices, Extractive Of Paprika, Pea Protein, Turmeric Extractives."
Yeah looks pretty nasty. Can't be good for the environment shipping and processing all of those ingredients either
Got a reference for that? I'd love to send the link to a couple vegans who eat 'plant based meat' opposed to non manufactured organic food eating vegans
Clearly this product is not non manufactured organic food.
@[Deactivated]: Are you asking if we should kill all the animals on the planet to stop methane gas or save them all to produce more🤣
- vegan logic they dont no what side of the fence they are on!
Well considering animal agriculture is responsible for 18% of greenhouse emissions, I doubt he will have a link, because what he is saying is not true (unless somehow more than 18% of the worlds greenhouse emission come from the vegan meat industry, which I find unlikely):
@Elpres: Looking at this link it seems unlikely:
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/may/31/avoiding…
It suggests that growing meat takes 83% of all farmland and produces 58% off all greenhouse emissions (from the food industry) to produce only 18% of the Calories. i.e. it takes more farmland and emissions to produce food from meat than other means.
Also, I really hope no one is advocating that we eat as much mock meat as we currently eat meat. I like these as something to take to a BBQ not something to eat 3 times a day.
@elli0t: Not really, but I can't say I understand your point? Most vegans don't stop eating meat because they hate the flavour of meat, they stop because they have issues with the cruelty and environmental impact of the meat industry and want no part of it.
@el_cheapo: Stop parroting misinformation. https://www.instagram.com/p/B61duW5A_w9/
There are multiple problems with this number:
1) US production of livestock is much more efficient than developing countries and should not be lumped in with these
2) In developing countries manure is often burned for heat, inflating livestock CO2 numbers
3) NON- anthropogenic GHG emissions are substantial and ignored here, inflating the percentages. A more accurate number would be percent of TOTAL GHG emissions, not just man made
4) claims by the NYT and other media outlets that this 14.5% is equivalent to cars, planes, ships, and trucks is just plain FALSE. I can’t believe the NYT could be so badly mistaken in their numbers.
5) Eliminating ALL cattle in the US would decrease GHG by 0.38%. I am working with Peter Ballerstedt @grassbased to bring you guys a succinct summary of all of this stuff but I think it’s SO important for all who deride ruminants to support their data and for all of us to really understand the impact of animals on this planet. What do you guys think?
@elli0t: Wait your proof is a screenshot of a tweet by some dude with zero background in environmental science? And you think that is a somehow debunking actual data backed by actual experts from the UN, the US government and leading academics? You are VERY gullible my friend. I would recommend you don't get your scientific data from Instagram influences in future.
Do yourself a favor and get educated before you look even more stupid:

Yeah we also shouldn't flavour soft drinks after fruits or call ginger beer a beer.
It doesn't? It's clearly Chick'n .
Yeah its wrong lol…
It should be illegal to put happy smiling animals on meat packaging. That's some real marketing bs
Got an example?
I'd consider going vegan, but it just seems so expensive. I guess I'll give these a shot, gotta start somewhere
You don't have to have mock meat all the time. Lentil burgers are cheaper for instance.
I love lentils, especially lentil soup in the pressure cooker using veg stock
Not sure I'd ever go vegan but some of my favourite dishes are vegetarian. Great curries and really nice vegetable based pastas. Doesn't have to be expensive meat substitutions to make for nice meals.
It's only expensive if you are buying a lot of mock meats and dairy free cheeses. Meat is an expensive luxury in many parts of the world. Vegan staples include rice, legumes, grains, vegetables, which can all be bought fairly cheap if you know where to shop. Aldi is great for those pantry staples.
Its actually cheaper going vegan if you cook a lot of foods yourself and not buy mock meats and vegan processed meals. I mean a bag of frozen vegies or salad is approx $2, lentils and chickpeas are $1.50, whole grain breads and pastas are $2-$3, a bag of potatoes is $3 etc etc. whereas a steak could be $8 excluding sides.
Yes. Eating vegan is cheaper than eating meat. The world's developing nations don't eat beef multiple times a day. Even tofu is like $4/kg.
I think India has one of the lowest incidences of bowel cancer, it's suggested
because of the curry/turmeric consumption but they rarely eat meat.
Hey, for those who like to shit on these products: sometimes people don't want to eat meat, or actually like the taste of these. Who cares?
I don't have coeliac disease but some of my favourite food is gluten free. Is that wrong? Not at all. Vegan food is no different.
Rare for these to go on sale.
These aren’t chicken so y call it chicken
The same goes for almond and soy milk it’s not milk
If you milk a nut its still milk..
It’s called nut juice
I know it by another name 😂
Wait untill you find out Schweppes Raspberry isn't made from raspberries! (Don't even look at the ingredients of their lemonade, save yourself the stress).
Wouldnt know im paleo, non processed foods is the way the world was intended meat and all.
a caveman? on my ozbargain?
Paleo is a meme. Every single food we eat now is vastly different to what we ate 100,000 years ago due to significant human driven evolution. Yes that includes meat.
@vindictus: Agreed. Animals weren't being fed hormones and vegetables didn't have pesticides and insecticides all over them.
@Milk tea: "Dr. Ames estimates that “Americans eat about 1.5 g of natural pesticides per person per day, which is about 10,000 times more than they eat of synthetic pesticide residues.”
Furthermore, Dr. Ames estimates that we consume 5,000 to 10,000 different natural pesticides every day, many of which cause cancer when tested in lab animals"
It's not called chicken though, it is chick'n
Gee I wonder why people would think it's chicken then..
Do these come frozen or fresh and can you freeze them?
Obviously fresh from the garden duhh
I lol'd
Frozen.
cheers buddy
Why are there so many angry people on the internet that hate on anything that does not conform to the tiny box they live in?
Almost no one is open minded. Myself included.
to have the same opinion as other people means you will be protected by them, but at the expense of any individual growth.
Why are there so many angry people on the internet
How many ?
Welcome to Ozbargain where there's always one or two who try too hard to be funny.
I thought ozbargain was a place with people with no sense of humour
I've tried quite a lot of vegan burger products recently so may give this a go too. So far, Beyond Burger is by far the best. 'Chicken Free Chicken' dissolved when I put it into a stew. Moving Mountains burger is fine, but not great.
The main problem with these product is they're very expensive. Beyond Burger patties are usually around $50/kg. That's nuts. Want to truly save the world by cutting methane emissions while saving animals? Make the products affordable. The corporate virtue signaling while extracting every last dollar from its audience is at times sickening hypocrisy.
I don't mind the Linda McCartney range when I'm in the mood for something like this. They're smaller servings but $5/pack of 2 at Woolies. The other stuff isn't bad either.
Not sure if they're vegan though. But I agree, they taste pretty decent.
The ones that are say on the packet, the normal burgers are, there's cheesy ones that are vegetarian. I think most of it is vegan now.
What's it made out of?
