Soy Curls, Non-GMO, Meat Substitutes - Country Life Natural Foods

Soy Curls Made Simple At Country Life Natural Foods

At Country Life Natural Foods, we love ingredients that make plant-based cooking easy. Our soy curls are a hearty option made for home cooks and commercial kitchens alike. They start mild, then take on whatever flavor you add, from smoky barbecue to garlic-ginger stir-fry. If you are looking to buy soy curls for weeknight meals, meal prep, or a meatless menu, this is one of the most flexible choices you can keep in the pantry. They store well in the refrigerator or freezer, travel well, and help you build protein-rich meals without the hassle of thawing anything at all. Soy Curls need to be refrigerated to keep them fresh. Freezing is also recommended for best long-term results.

How To Prepare Soy Curls

Soy curls cook fast, and the steps are straightforward.

  • Rehydrate: Cover with warm water or broth for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Drain: Pour off liquid and squeeze gently to remove extra moisture.
  • Season: Add spices, salt, citrus, or a quick marinade.
  • Cook: Sauté in a hot skillet, bake on a sheet pan, or air-fry until golden.
  • Finish: Toss with sauce at the end so the texture stays satisfying.

For extra browning, pat them dry after squeezing and cook in a wide pan. Crowding traps steam and softens the bite.

Soy Curls Ingredients

We keep the ingredient list clean and simple. Our soy curls are made from non-GMO whole soybeans with no complicated add-ins. Because they come from whole beans, they bring a sturdy, chewy texture that works well in savory dishes. If you need organic soy curls specifically, look for a certified organic label, since non-GMO and organic are not the same thing.

Soy Curl Recipes

Here are a few dependable ways to use soy curls at home or in batch cooking:

  • Taco Filling: Season with chili, cumin, garlic, and a splash of lime.
  • Teriyaki Bowls: Crisp soy curls, add broccoli, and finish with teriyaki and sesame.
  • BBQ Sandwiches: Simmer in barbecue sauce and serve with slaw on a bun.
  • Creamy Curry: Stir into coconut curry with chickpeas and spinach.
  • Stir-Fry: Add vegetables, then finish with soy sauce, ginger, and toasted sesame oil.
  • Pasta Night: Toss with marinara and herbs, then top with a dairy-free parmesan.

We suggest starting with a small batch, then doubling once you find your favorite seasoning mix.

Picking The Best Option For Your Family

Some shoppers search for Butler soy curls because that name is well known. We recommend choosing based on how you cook: curls for chew and browning, tofu for creaminess, and tempeh for a nutty bite. If you cook for a crowd, soy curls bulk ordering can save time and reduce runs. If you are new to them, start by buying a smaller bag, then scale up once you know your favorite recipes.

Is it beef? No! Is it chicken? No! It's soy curls!

A natural alternative to meat, tasting so good, even meat-eaters would be fooled!

They are high in protein, a good source of fiber, gluten-free, and contain zero trans fats and sodium. Did we mention how easy they are to prepare?! It might just be the perfect meat replacement!

⭐Make vegan Fajitas

⭐Make scrumptious sandwiches

⭐Add to sizzling stir fry

⭐Use in heartwarming soups

⭐Bulk up refreshing salads

Simple, one ingredient. Versatile. Glad they come in this bulk weight.

Great, easy protein

It is so convenient to throw a handful or two of these into dishes! Tastes great in dishes with thick sauces or gravies, such as curries, stews. Does not work well in salads or ramen.

Soycurls 3 lb

I have eaten soy curls for years, ordered through other companies. I tried the largest size but I didn't go through them fast enough and storage was an issue. I did not have room in my refrigerator or freezer, and my garage gets too hot in Texas summer. The smaller bags were ok but a lot of plastic. Then I found Country Life. The 3 lb option is a perfect size for me and a great price. I store them in quart and ½ gallon mason jars in the refrigerator.

Country life products are a great sourc of health benefits

I have ordered some products from Country Life Foods. I like their selection of products because they are natural ingredients and not processed foods. When I call to place my order, they take their time with me and give me ideas to help me make a delicious, healthy meal. I feel so confident and comfortable with the wide selection of foods offered. I received my box of food within a week taking in the consideration of processing my order, filling it and shipping it to me. They sent me emails on my order as well as recipes for making simple, healthy meals.
I am definitely ordering from them now consistently.
Thank you to Country Life Natural Foods for their support for a person to have good health.

Such a versatile product

I’m reviewing butler soy curls. I recently tried the curls and was excited to learn how many dishes can be made using them. I have been enjoying them spiced up in different dishes. They are so easy to use and they really satisfy the protein hunger nicely. I love them and don’t miss meat at all.

Gotta have the big ol bag ya'll!
Last o checked its 12 oz for $8 at my local...you can do the math. Freeze or refrigerate, will go rancid eventually at room temp, but why risk it. Deliciousness

Life-changing

It's a great texture, doens't really need soaking, and I'm super pleasantly suprised how much better than regular TVP and other similar options it is. I also love that it's a single, low fat ingredient. In an era where vegan fake meats are becoming more realistic by being fattier, it's nice having this option that's super simple and relatively healthy.

Easy to use and great for lots of things!

I've used these before and they're great, got them at my local Asian market. Then I came across THIS recipe and had to get more! https://www.rabbitandwolves.com/dill-pickle-vegan-chicken-salad/

Easy to use in lots of ways, taste's great.

Versatile and delicious

You can make so many different choices with these delicious curls. Barbecue strips on buns, stir fry, broken into smaller pieces as sloppy Joe, they absorb the flavor of whatever you cook them in. Excellent product.

Soy curls are a very good alternative to tofu & tempeh, easy to cook with, and take on whatever flavoring you add .

perfect vegan meat substitute

I was sceptical at first but now we love these soy curls. I use my home made BBQ sauce on them and they make such a treat on a homemade bun!

Great product. Much better price for three pounds than I was paying for one pound bags locally!

We Love These!

Butler Soy Curls are so versatile! I make jerky, or add the dried curls to soups. I freeze the dried curls until I need them, to keep them fresh. I love that I can buy a large bag. Everything I buy from CLNF is excellent quality.

Amazing price and quality!

Great bang for your buck!

Great price. It came in a large 3 lb bag…which is great, cuts down on packaging but takes up a little more storage space. Love the product it’s awesome. Still trying many recipes out. Service was great, it came so fast

M
Monica
Good value for the money

This is definitely a good value for the money. I would like it if there were instructions on the bag. I have to look them up. And, if there were portion guidelines for an 8 oz. portion, etc.

J
Jane

Love them! They are great raw, in salads, and in casseroles --- so many uses. Consider them as a replacement for TVP.

M
Mary
Great service and products

This was my first order from CLF and I am THRILLED. Great product, great price, great service....you can't ask for more!

K

So versatile!

We love Butler soy curls. They have helped us make the next transition to being meat free. We use them in stir fry, spaghetti, chili and soup. We make "Buffalo chicken" served in buns. My husband adds any prepared leftovers to his salads. There are many recipes online for rehydration liquids. They can be baked or fried after rehydration. Soy curls make a satisfying chew. We have been able to stop eating chicken because we have this delicious option.

Versatile Plant Based Staple

These really are a versatile and delicious staple for the plant based kitchen. They are so easy to use and delicious! Our favorite Soy Curl recipe is Barbecue Soy culrs. Delicious and ready in just minutes!

D
Debby

I ate them at a Whole Food Plant Based potluck and they were delicious so I decided to purchase some. I was told you could get them at Amazon (which I don't use) or buy them direct from Butler so I did. I couldn't believe the price difference. Anyway, I will continue to purchase them as long as the price is reasonable. They are quite tasty with bar-b-que sauce. I'd like some more recipes for them.

Linda
Great Food

Everything was what I needed.

M
Matt
A wide variety

We like to use these in all sorts of meals. An example with Mexican food: we use the big pieces for enchiladas, the smaller pieces for taco meat, and the "dust" mixed in with refried beans.

G
Gail
The best

Soy curls are so great. Make a great chicken barbeque and so much more. Plan on making soup and chicken salad with them. One of the best products ever and so easy to use.

A Must-Have For Meat-less Meals

Try soy curls just once and they will become a weekly must-have. Sautee them with a pan of green peppers, onions, mushrooms, garlic, smoked paprika, and other select seasonings, and . . . Enjoy!

These are ridiculously good

After being a vegetarian for over four decades, I thought there was nothing new under the sun. Butler's Soy Curls are a revelation - incredibly versatile, easy to prepare, delicious with an awesome texture. I've turned lots of my friends - meat-eaters and vegetarians alike - on to them, and my 88-year old dad now has them literally every night for dinner. I love that they are made from the whole bean, and grateful that Country Life Natural Foods sells them in a 3-lb bag, which I can't find elsewhere.

J
Jess
Soy Curls are amazingly versatile

We use soy curls for a myriad of vegan dishes. They make perfect BBQ sandwiches. They work great in an Asian stir fry. They can be added to Mexican tortilla soup. There really is no limit to how to use this product.

A great meat alternative

A little skeptical at first, but had this on a burger with some coleslaw yesterday and I was wildly impressed. Even better when made with barbecue sauce.
