Smoky Flavour Vegan Bacon Rashers (150g)

£4.99

Not just made to look like streaky bacon, we've reinvented the streaks in our rashers to create a delicious play on flavours and textures. These rashers are smoky, salty, tasty. Perfect in a full vegan breakfast, on a stack of pancakes, in a BLT or added to your favourite burger. If you're more of a sweet tooth, you can find these glazed in an Organic Pineapple sauce over in our Bottega store for a sensational sweet and savoury experience! 

Cooking info:

1. Heat up a splash of oil and a little water on medium heat in a non-stick pan.

2. Add your rashers, cover, and sizzle for about 2-3 minutes, turning halfway.

3. Once heated through and crisped up on the outside, serve in a warm roll or with your favourite cooked breakfast!

Great texture and taste

These are easily the best 'fake bacon' on the market, the texture is good, the taste is there and they crisp up really well.
Great for a sandwich or brunch.

Not amazing

I was looking forward to these based on previous reviews I had read. My favourite fake bacon is by Plant Pioneers. It is head and shoulders better than any other make. Unfortunately Sainsbury appear to have discontinued it...

By comparison, Sgaia not only doesnt look as much like real bacon as PP, it does not taste as good either, in particular it does not taste 'smoky enough'. Texture wise it was not too bad for a soya based rasher, but I have found that the most faithful meat copies always use pea protein...
Initially, I thought there were only four (thick) rashers, which seemed good as all other fake bacons I have tried are, in my opinion, too thin and lead to either underdone rashers or else completely dry crumbly ones. The 'double' rashers managed to get a nice level of exterior crispness then I discovered they would split in two. They were ok - similar to 'This isn't bacon - but I wasnt searching for 'ok' - I wanted another PP smoky.
With the other rashers, I tried again, separating them first. I followed the instructions exactly and after 2.5 mins they still looked wet and underdone. Back on with the lid and literally one minute later they were crumbly with black edges. I still ate them but they seemd to have little flavour. Unfortunately, I bought 5 packs to minimise postage and packing..

Hi Nick! Thanks for the detailed review. It sounds like your pan was not hot enough or the heat was not high enough! You can see from our various content on IG or our Recipe Inspiration Blog how beautifully they sizzle and cook! Also keep in mind that unlike the other brands mentioned we do not use chemical thickeners, binders, flavourings or preservatives. We aim to make natural alternatives over chemical simulations :)
