Primal Spirit Vegan Jerky – “Classic Flavor” – Thai Peanut, 10 g. Plant Based Protein, Certified Non-GMO, No Preservatives, Sports Friendly Packaging (12 Pack, 1 oz)

…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.

A bit pricey but very tasty

I've been a vegetarian for 10 years (all of my 20s) and absolutely love it! Lately I've been really looking for good healthy protein sources that I actually like to eat, and these Primal Strips are excellent! These things scare me because they are so realistically meat-like.I've tried 3 flavors of them so far, and there was only 1 that I thought wasn't great. It was completely edible, but the texture was just not as good as the others. I think it was the Teriyaki that I didn't like so much, but I really liked the Texas Barbecue and the Hickory Smoked flavors.These are excellent low-calorie, low-fat, convenient, tasty snacks with high amounts of protein. You can take them anywhere, keep them in your desk at work or in your purse!The only complaint I have about these is that I wish there were versions with lower sodium. To me, as someone who loves a good salty snack, but knows that too much salt is not good and tries to avoid it, these taste too salty. And 300+ mg of sodium per strip seems high.But in the end I am overlooking the sodium and am purchasing these in bulk now! I just bought the Thai Peanut flavor because I love spicy foods, and I love Thai food! I'll update this review with my thoughts on this flavor after I receive them.UPDATE: I received the Thai Peanut flavor and LOVE them! They have a great chewy texture, good flavor, and a good amount of spice. All for only 74 calories each, but 10g protein! I definitely recommend these!

I have been snacking on these since I first became a vegetarian 20 years ago. They always hit the spot.

Even after so many years, through the boom of hyper-realistic meatless alternatives, this is still the best vegan jerky on the market. It's toothsome but not tough, with a tender chew that satisfies but doesn't destroy my teeth. It's high in protein (naturally), no crazy ingredients, and perfectly packaged in single servings. I always have one in my bag for snacking emergencies since it won't melt like many sweet protein bars or chocolate treats.It's gotten a lot harder to find in stores, and NO ONE carries the Thai peanut anymore, which is my favorite, so thank goodness I can stock up here! Compared to similar snacks, the price is quite reasonable.

In the past year or so, I have tried several different vegan jerkies.A lot of them were pretty dry, hard to chew, kinda "dusty" with spices on top.Not this one! It's juicy, chewy, delicious. I bought "Hickory Smoked" flavor, but keep in mind, it's a little spicy or shall I say peppery, in case that's not your jam.The only jerky so far I would repurchase, will try other flavours soon.

Who is writing these 4 and 5 star reviews? Are we getting the same product? These are gross I wouldn't feed them to a dog.Texture is rubbery and slick. And it does not taste good. Each family member took 1 bite and went straight to the trash. Too bad I can't return them. There's no one I don't like enough to give them away to either. Yuck.

If you're into plant based snacks this definitely one to try.

The texture and flavor is quite remarkable.As a vegetarian, I haven't had jerky in over a decade. Now I can't stop eating these, so good. A little heavy on the salt, but the taste is phenomenal.

I bought the 24 pack of these because, although ostensibly expensive, they're much dearer if bought one at a time.I had intended to share these with a friend, but she never even saw one as I'd munched the whole lot down within a mere three weeks.They were kind to my somewhat fragile digestive system and, although I'm sure that a large Bix like this could have been cheaper, I'm glad that I gave them a try, if only because they're a welcome change from peanuts, pickled gherkins or baby plum tomatoes dipped in spicy houmous.Give them a try, you might also find them irresistible.😁👍

Schmeckt weihnachtlich. Absolut nicht zu empfehlen

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.

Having turned to Vegetarianism back in 1985 when I was just 14 years old, I had gotten used to the lack of interesting snack products that catered to me. I discovered Primal Spirit about 2 years ago quite by chance and ordered a few bars of their Meatless BBQ Jerky Strips. After one, I was hooked. They are so delicious. Best served slightly chilled I find. They are handy for me when I am at work on the go and I have an item I can run to and not have to prep.Long story short, Primal have some of the best tasting Vegetarian snack products on the market - highly recommended!
