Veggie Ham

Nowadays, the regular price is around $6 or $7. Even though the label calls this product “Ham”, I don’t think it taste anything like ham. But I do think it tastes something like a pepperoni. Regardless, I love the taste, and I think it tastes even better than ham. These ham slices would probably be good on a pizza, but I haven’t tried that yet. I’ve just used these slices as cold cuts in sandwiches. The sodium content is probably my main reason for not having bought this and other plant-based cold cuts in a long time. But to compensate for the high sodium count, this plant-based ham is loaded with a variety of nutrients, like iron, vitamin B12, thiamine, zinc, protein and magnesium. On sale, I will buy this again. But I would be reluctant to pay full regular price. 

I ripped this up and threw it on homemade veggie pizzas as my grocery store didn't have the yves veggie pepperoni - its been really hard to find lately! Anyway the ham slices have smokey meaty-ish flavour and tasted pretty good, though visually I find it slightly off-putting (perhaps too realistic looking?) I've never had ham or deli meats before so I'm not sure how realistic it tastes. I've been eating the leftover in sandwiches.

This tastes more like how I remember bologna tasting. I made a yummy sandwich using it with Chao original creamy cheese on TJs French Baguette, and of course Vegenaise!!! Delicious.

It’s surprisingly tasty, not gummy at all. Obviously there’s not much nutrients in it but I think I’m gonna use it from time to time to spice up my sandwiches #veganham

Wanted to make “ham and cheese” croissant sandwiches for my boyfriend and I couldn’t find the Tofurky ham (why are their products so spread out amongst different stores? 😭) so I decided to give this one a whirl. It is not too bad in the context of a crossiantwich but I don’t care for this product in a cold sand which and wouldn’t recommend it for any non-vegan. The taste is a bit off and the texture is off-putting. Will finish up but not repurchase. $3.49 at Whole Foods #mockmeats #veganham #yves
