Guest guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Hi, What do you use instead of soy? My son can't do soy either, and I haven't found a substitute. Thanks, Kate Tuesday, February 24, 2009 11:56:01 am " Sally Parrott Ashbrook " <sally.parrott Gluten-free soy crumbles Are there gluten-free soy crumbles (like ground beef) on the market? Or do you just use TVP with seasoning? I can't eat soy, so I've been no help to my friend who's trying to figure this out. Sally -- " This isn't a matter of Republican and Democrat. It's not liberal. It's not conservative. It's simply common sense. This is a national emergency. . . . You have to be honest about the way the biosphere works, and we have to move this country very rapidly in a different direction.

Yes, Sally, there are. But one needs to be very careful to examine the ingredients carefully. The " beef " flavored soy crumbles/TVP frequently have flavorings in them that are not gluten-free. The " chicken " style soy crumbles are less likely to contain gluten. I usually purchase them at the health food store (their package or bulk) and so have them check on the original label before I trust them to be gluten free. An alternative that I have always found to be gluten free are dehydrated soy beans. They look and act much like TVP, but they are of larger 'flake'. They are great in soups, loaves, and salads. Dressler Foods " Soy Add Ums " are one brand. Another are Butler's " Soy Curls " . Both are a great product. HTH LaDonna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 http://www.spice-of-life.com/ This company makes a variety of GF soy " meats " which are quite good. I use the chicken to make chicken and rice soup. I've used the ground beef style for tacos and meatloaf and even in spaghetti once. I recently tried there jerky too and I love the teriaki flavor. The pepporoni is good but spicy. All their products are a little spicy but not overly so. http://www.dixiediner.com/index.php?cPath= & lPath=25 This company also has some good products although they are a bit bland. They work well in recipes though and would be good for children who may not care for the spicier versions.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Kate--I'm not vegan (just eat vegan most of the time), so this isn't as huge an issue for me. But for burgers, I usually eat vegan Sunshine burgers, which you can find in the frozen food section of some stores. They are made from primarily black beans and sesame seeds. I chopped one up yesterday in a bowl of quinoa with a bit of salsa, roasted corn, sauerkraut, and olives, and it was quite yummy.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Sunshine Burgers are also delicious chopped up and used in tofu scramble. Really delicious! I wonder why they only put *3* in a package and not *4* - sigh.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I have not found any gluten-free veggie " crumbles " other than dried soy products (TVP, Soy Curls, etc.) on the market here. We don't get all the products that are available in the US, though. As far as soy-free goes, we use lots of dry beans and brown rice, and you can also use nuts and seeds, though those are more expensive and higher in fat, so I tend to avoid using them too much. We make our own veggie burgers/sausage patties (there are lots of different recipes around), chili, etc. You can make sandwich spreads or filings. I even found a recipe for gluten-free seitan, though I haven't tried it yet. We are not soy-free, but I try not to rely on it too much, and of a course all of the commercially packaged stuff tends to add gluten and/or corn, which are both out for us.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Have you tried Quorn? It's vegetarian and soy free. I think it might use egg ingredients. But I got the chikn strips for use with stir fry and they are gluten free also. Not all of them are though, you have to check labels. Hi, btw! I'm Marsha and I'm new here.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Welcome to the group, Martha. We're glad you've joined us. Quorn is quite a versatile product, although I believe that most of the Quorn products are not vegan. Also, so have gluten added, so read every label. They are not consistent from product to product. A friend served them to my husband one time when we went for dinner, believing they were gluten free. He was quite sick as a result --- those pesky hidden ingredients!

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Oh yes, I was going to mention Quorn in my post. But even the vegan versions still have corn in them, so it was not an option for us. (We don't get it here anyway, but we were in the US a few months ago, scouring the shelves to try new things!) We used to order from Dixie Diner when we were first vegan. But almost all products have corn in them, so they are out for us too! But they certainly filled a need when we first started out.
