HerbYvore Plant Protein Block by HerbYvore — queenhoneyb's Review (Oct 17, 2021)

I had high hopes for this vegan paneer. Upon opening it, I was not impressed by the first sniff - smelled like strong tofu. I gave it a taste. It is crumbly, pasty, and yet dry. No good taste at all. I thought it would be more creamy for how much fat is in it!
I added a bit of a marinade to make it a little more cheesy - some water, nutritional yeast, salt, rice vinegar. I did the same for some tofu. I sautéed both separately. The tofu cooked as usual and was delicious. This stuff stuck to the pan more, crumbled apart when I wasn’t careful enough, and it didn’t get a tasty crust like tofu does, it just kind of dried up on the outside. Didn’t taste much better than before. I made a palak paneer curry and added both this and the tofu to it. Though my tofu was a bit on the soft side, it tasted much better than this vegan paneer. The paneer remained dry tasting, yet pasty and crumbly. Even if I could not eat soy, I would not bother buying this again. Unpleasant.
