Review of Botanical Bacon Smoky Original Flavour - Earthshine by taz
Sorry for the poor photo quality, but it was late at night đ
Iâm not a huge fan of the name, but my curiosity got the better of me so I bought it to add to hubbyâs birthday treat stash đ
We were both VERY pleasantly surprised by this! Reminded us of mushroom biltong, but itâs made of carrots đ„ who knew carrots were so versatile?! A very nice savoury snack, and Iâm keen to try out the other âflavoursâ.

ecobunny How would you rate it as a facon, though? I've been wanting to try it but it's always out of stock where I am.1 likeReply
taz Itâs not what I would call âfaconâ.. itâs not intended to cook with or anything like that.. itâs seasoned, dried carrot to eat as a snack. It tasted more like a crispy kind of biltong to me, than bacon. (Which Iâm totally happy with đ)1 likeReply
ecobunny Aah. 'Because it says Bacon, I thought it was a fake one.Reply
taz Yeah the name is pretty misleading đ itâs really good, though! Hope you get to try it đ1 likeReply
ecobunny Definitely!Reply
Earthshine Oh dear, where is that please?Reply
Earthshine Happy you really liked it!! Yes this is a snack, not for cooking. Curious why the name was interpreted as misleading, very much not our intention!!!1 likeReply
taz Hi there đ I read the description of the product and understood it was a snack, but the word âbaconâ could be interpreted as something one would cook and eat warm - like a fake-meat alternative⊠the âfaconâ ecobunny was referring to. I think âdried carrot biltongâ would be a more apt description of the product, but thatâs just my opinion đmy reason for disliking the name is just a personal dislike for the word âbaconâ which is a euphemism for pig đ· and disconnects people from who they are eating when they eat âbaconâ. I guess âbiltongâ is equally problematic, but nowadays vegetable biltong is more and more common đ
