Typically, yes. I bought it at Kroger in their healthy foods section.

It is similar to Boca, but without all the added junk that Boca puts in

their products. Surprisingly, the texture is very much like a crumble of

lean meats (such as lean ground beef). The pieces are a tad smaller than

what you typically get with real meat and they're drier (far less fat). I

found I had to add a bit more water with the powdered spices and such to get

them mixed through. The final product did a nice job of " taking on the

flavor " . It isn't the same as beef so as such the flavor IS going to be

different; it just doesn't bring the same flavors to the table that beef

does so that is to be expected. Definitely a decent substitute though.

I'll probably pick up some more and try my hand at making some chili, see

how that turns out.

Just watch out for the fiber. I didn't realize each serving had so much

fiber until AFTER I ate and wrote my e-mails last night. My dinner last

night had about 23g of fiber. LOL
