This was awesome!! I had some hesitations after the cashier warned me against it, but

I was pleasantly surprised. It does have an earthy beet flavor but the sesame works really well with it. I had it in a homemade poke bowl and can’t wait to try making sushi with it! Would definitely get again.

Love when Trader Joe’s introduces new vegan products, especially creative ones. I think this

is a lovely idea but the product could be more flavorful.

I could definitely taste the sesame oil but the other items that should have packed more of a punch were pretty bland. I added sriracha, coconut aminos and more green onion; enjoying that combo with seaweed snacks and romaine hearts was nice.

I couldn’t taste any beet flavor and the beet pieces were soft so in that way it worked as a dupe but I imagine the actual texture of poke is different. I never had “real” poke so I cannot attest to the actual likeness.

My guess is that whilst marinating the beets soaked up the flavors and the beet flavor and seasonings cancelled each other out a bit? 🤷‍♀️

If you liked poke or like vegan poke I’d say give it a shot but be prepared to doctor to your taste if needed.

$4.99 at Trader Joe’s

After reading several reviews of this poke on abillion, I was elated to discover it

at my neighborhood Trader Joe’s. It’s a very intriguing product, to say the least.

Visually, this stuff is apparently quite convincing — so much so that one of my coworkers was concerned that I had renounced the vegan lifestyle when she saw my lunch! Once it’s in your mouth, though, you can tell it’s definitely #beetroot: the chunks have the characteristic earthy sweetness and firm texture of the root vegetable. I completely agree with other reviewers’ assessment of the marinade — it was, disappointingly, rather bland. Although the sesame flavor (from both oil and seeds) was prominent, the poke needed extra seasonings to really shine. It improved vastly after I added shoyu, lime, and a sprinkle of chili to the remainder of the tub.

I appreciated this creative vegetable-focused option — a nice break from tofu or more highly processed meat alternatives — but felt $4.99 was a bit steep. I’ll most likely use this method to create my own #leavethefishinthesea poke at home and spend the savings on my other Trader Joe’s favorites.

Interesting product but probably won’t buy it again. Had it topped on a tostadas with

avocado and soy sauce. The beets were good and the flavoring was decent. It just wasn’t amazing.
