Hot & Spicy, Sweet & Savory

I LOVE this jerky. They have many flavors, but this one is my favorite. It has great texture and is chewy, and I really appreciate that they are individually wrapped, which makes it perfect for on-the-go/travel protein. This is a regular part of my diet, and I’m so glad I found it.

I was amazed at that the texture of this jerky was meaty and satisfying. I liked the level of heat - not too hot, yet hot enough and just the right level of sweetness. I would buy these again.

Best vegan/vegetarian jerky! Great flavor!!!

…personally… like 1 star for all the others? I started with a variety pack that included all or most of the flavors and wow, I was really disappointed? The flavor for most of them was fine but they were definitely slimy in that they’re packed in marinade, and I absolutely loathed the texture of the soy ones. Could. Not. Stand. It. I honestly wouldn’t have reviewed them, when something is so obviously not for me, but not like, false advertising or anything—just, tough and chewy, but slimy, and not chewy in a jerky way but in a strip of something that’s not food… a literal piece of leather rather than preserved edible meat? And I didn’t care if it was jerky-like, I wasn’t looking particularly for a jerky fix, I’m just always looking for convenient vegan snacks that aren’t a billion dollars, something I can toss in my purse and forget about until I find myself stuck somewhere with no options and need something. This seemed perfect. My multi pack included 2 of each kind and I hated them all, until I tried the mushroom one. Omg, the texture was worlds better! Actually kind of jerky like, but a little softer, the flavor is great, I wouldn’t mind if it was less spicy, or if they used the other marinades on the mushroom base (because I’m never touching the soy ones again ever) for variety’s sake, but I think these are genuinely delicious and I’ve come back for the packs of just the mushroom kind a bunch of times since then, since they are exactly what I wanted. The mushroom one is also packed in marinade, so it’s also wet instead of dry when you open it, but I wouldn’t call it slimy, possibly because the texture is more porous so it actually absorbs the liquid, but just a heads up, it’s still slightly messier than like, a granola bar or something. Still, it’s a perfect toss in my purse for whenever food.

I am a jerky (Meat) lover forced to turn vegetarian for health reasons. However, I fall off the vegetarian wagon often but stick to it as much as I can. I miss and love a nice salty, spicy, chewy snack and found these with a lot of good reviews and so gave them a try. I have tried only these Hot & Spicy ones from Primal so far and plan to try the others. There is a smell and taste of vegetable meat substitute that's a bit off putting, but they are the best substitute I've tried to date. Don't get me wrong though, I am not looking to find a veggie meat... just a salty chewy snack like beef jerky. I like that they are made from something other than soy, I cannot eat soy, I'm allergic. I'm undecided if I will buy this flavor again, I have 20 more to eat. What I like: Texture, its really very, very good and its strongest attribute! Heat, its pretty hot and could be compared with the heat of black pepper but could be even hotter for my taste... :) What I don't like: Smells like vegetable meat substitutes, based on this alone some people will not even try them, they could have a more smokey taste and smell that would help mask this veggie one. They could be saltier, I am really looking for a good salty snack here, and these aren't really meeting this need for me, taste more sweet than salt. I like the sweet but would like more salt. The slight taste of licorice, I do like licorice but I wouldn't normally eat it with jerky. These are good enough that I will try some of the other flavors in hopes that one of them will be "the one".

these are so goods size is just perfect always been my favorite even my cat likes it (she's a little weird) taste so good and the texture is perfect and the quality cant get any better

I can't convey how much I disliked the flavor of these. I've tried most of the flavors they make except one that contains an ingredient I'm allergic too, so I felt confident in ordering a new flavor in quantity even though I had never smoked it in any of the variety packs. It tasted so bad, I literally could not force myself to finish the one I had opened. I missed the return window, so I'm stuck with a case of inedible vegan jerky that I paid through the nose for because I live in a rural area where you can't get anything healthy let alone vegan at the grocery store except in the produce section. (And the produce is all questionably sourced, so whether that's healthy is a matter of debate.) The closest I can come to describing the taste is that it reminded me of tomato mixed with ... Windex? I've never tasted Windex, but that's my best guess. And for three scientifically minded reader, let me just note, I don't know if there's cilantro in these, but even if so, I'm not a soap taster with cilantro and that was even confirmed in my genetic testing. So there's no excuse for these to taste like a cleaning product. Yuck! I do, however, want to emphasize that I will continue buying other flavors from this brand. The hickory smoked is lovely, the thai is just a little spicy (if you have acid reflux, ulcers, esophageal or duodenal spasm, gastroparesis, or other sensitive tummy issues: beware). It's possible I just got a bad batch, but you couldn't pay me to try these again.

It did take over a month to deliver but apart from that it’s perfect and I want to keep ordering. They taste amazing and the texture is perfect, it doesn’t get stuck in your teeth like other tender vegan jerky’s I’ve tried and it leaves you satisfied and not feel the need to eat more after, even though it’s very delicious. My favourite jerky so far (I’ve tried many different brands). I highly recommend!

Have bought these many times in different flavours. Usually they come packed in the correct primal box but this last delivery were loose in a polybag. Also usually they have a decent Best before date while this last dekivery has a best before date of just over one month which is very poor.

highly recommend this veggie jerky. flavours are great and very moreish! easy to open. a bit expensive unless on sale or subscribe and save, but overall good value with high protein content and good taste. perfect for snacks on the go and for hiking snacks as take up minimal space and provides sustenance.

Schmeckt weihnachtlich. Absolut nicht zu empfehlen

Super flavour, decent price for the 24 pack and good amount of protein without too many cals/carbs.
