Botanical Bacon Smoky Original Flavour

Fab, thanks for the review, have you tried the Cayenne pepper one yet?

This is carrot based and is absolutely delicious. Nice and chewy with a great smokey flavour.

Cool! Glad you liked them, if you into spicy food, try the cayenne pepper one, my personal fav...

This was so.good. much preferred it to the maple syrup one. Tasted more like bacon and was more crunchier. Still wouldn't compare to bacon but would never ever guess it's carrots. Would definitely buy this flavour again.

I really enjoyed this, was chewy and flavourful.
Probably defeats the purpose of a raw snack but I put a few pieces in the air fryer for a minute and it crisped up and tasted like real #[bacon](hashtag-5c01edba33a3a9efa907dd10) to me.

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.

It’s not what I would call ‘facon’.. it’s not intended to cook with or anything like that.. it’s seasoned, dried carrot to eat as a snack. It tasted more like a crispy kind of biltong to me, than bacon. (Which I’m totally happy with 😃)

Aah. 'Because it says Bacon, I thought it was a fake one.

Yeah the name is pretty misleading 🙈 it’s really good, though! Hope you get to try it 😎

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!!!

Hi there 👋 I read the description of the product and understood it was a snack, but the word ‘bacon’ could be interpreted as something one would cook and eat warm - like a fake-meat alternative… the ‘facon’ ecobunny was referring to. I think ‘dried carrot biltong’ would be a more apt description of the product, but that’s just my opinion 🙂my reason for disliking the name is just a personal dislike for the word ‘bacon’ which is a euphemism for pig 🐷 and disconnects people from who they are eating when they eat ‘bacon’. I guess ‘biltong’ is equally problematic, but nowadays vegetable biltong is more and more common 😅

P.S. I really enjoyed this product, and the others I’ve tried in your range! I would gladly recommend them to anyone. Thank you for taking the time to respond to my reviews and hope my feedback has not caused offense 💚 

Sorry for the poor photo quality, but it was late at night 🙈

I’m not a huge fan of the name, but my curiosity got the better of me so I bought it to add to hubby’s birthday treat stash 😄

We were both VERY pleasantly surprised by this! Reminded us of mushroom biltong, but it’s made of carrots 🥕 who knew carrots were so versatile?! A very nice savoury snack, and I’m keen to try out the other ‘flavours’.

OMG first time eating this and it’s the best. Bought at the DARG pop up market at Simon’s restaurant at groot Constantia - on today and tomorrow, supporting an animal shelter (shameless plug) 🌟🐶🐱🐭🐰
