Seeing a recent Boca review by @kyu reminded me that I never really gave Boca a fair shake. Because they were founded in 1979, I would think that would make Boca one of the original plant-based brands. All the better time to give these spicy chick'n patties a shot!
These were pretty good. On par with a Morningstar buffalo chik patty I would say. Not a thick cutlet like a Gardein Ultimate Chick'n Filet or Incogmeato Spicy Crispy Chick'n Filet. They are fairly heavy on sodium (450mg, as opposed to 260mg on the similar Morningstar ones) if that is a consideration for your diet.
Did you know?
Boca was acquired by Kraft Heinz in early 2000.

Thanks for the tag :-) the comparisons are so helpful — it’s mind-boggling how many different fried chick’n products we have now. I’ve started to lose track!
Gosh, I didn’t realize Boca was acquired by Kraft Heinz. I’m glad these conglomerates are realizing that if they wish to remain relevant, they’d best add plant-based vegan offerings to their portfolios.
I love Boca, mostly because it was one of the few products available when I first when vegetarian and it made it so much easier! Plus they taste good, too!
