Vege Shreds will keep for two years because it contains no oils that might go rancid. They will retain a good meat-like texture and mouthfeel. Most people who eat meat will appreciate the meat-like properties of this product in addition to the fact that they are low-fat, low in carbohydrates, low in sodium, and soy-free.
Our instant cheez mix is crafted exclusively from vegan ingredients, including organic cashew flour, delivering a creamy cheez flavor without any animal products. The dry seasoning blend stays fresh without refrigeration, making it ideal for pantry storage and camping trips.
