Surprised me
I tried the jackfruit dumplings from Plantropy, and they were honestly perfect for a busy night. They’re super easy to make—straight from the freezer into the air fryer and ready in minutes. The flavor is really nice and savory, has a soft, satisfying texture. They feel filling without being greasy, which I liked, and they work well as a quick dinner, a snack, or even when guests are over. I also appreciate that they’re fully vegan and made without cholesterol, trans fat, soy, or gluten. Overall, they’re a simple, no-stress meal option.

A good vegan option!
I think this is a great option for those who don’t eat meat or want to reduce their intake. The flavor and texture really tricks your mind and makes you feel like you are eating meat! I still prefer real meat but I think this is a great option!

Classic dumpling flavour
I tried the Planthropy jackfruit dumplings and they’ve become one of my go-to easy meals. They go from freezer to plate in about 10 minutes, which makes them perfect for quick lunches, dinners, or even a snack. The flavour is really good and well seasoned, and the jackfruit filling is soft and comforting with a nice bite once cooked. They don’t try to pretend to be meat — they’re just tasty as they are. It’s a savoury, gently herbed flavour with a nice umami depth — more like a classic, comforting chicken dumpling than something bold or spicy.. I had mine with rice, veggies, and a quick hoisin-style sauce, but they’d be just as good on their own or paired with whatever you have on hand. They’re vegan and gluten-free, and even though we aren’t, we both really enjoyed them. Definitely the kind of freezer staple I’d buy again.

Great vegan alternative
I was very excited to try Plantropy Chicken Flavoured Jackfruit Dumplings. You can steam, pan fry or grill them. I tried the pan fry instructions and unfortunately it didn't work great for me. My dumplings stuck to the pan even with constant stirring, I didn't get them golden, and after the 4 minute time they asked for, my dumplings were still frozen in the center. I cooked them longer and they tasted great. They have a chicken soup like auroma and taste. I love that they are vegan with great nutrients. I realize my outcome is due to user error but I would love to try them again to get them fried golden.

Great tasting alternative
We enjoyed trying these jackfruit dumplings as we had tried other jackfruit products. They were quite tasty, neutral tasting but good which made them very versatile. We used them in a Thai red curry and coconut soup and they were excellent. A really great vegetarian/vegan option. We tried the chicken flavour but would try the szechaun next time.

Plantropy’s Chicken Flavored Jackfruit Dumplings
Plantropy's Chicken Flavored Jackfruit Dumplings have officially secured a permanent place in my freezer. I appreciate the versatility of these dumplings, as they can be pan-fried for a quick weeknight meal, steamed as an appetizer for social gatherings, or grilled during outdoor events. They offer exceptional convenience, cooking in mere minutes straight from the freezer, while retaining the essence of a fresh, farm-to-table dish. The texture is particularly noteworthy, being light, airy, and satisfying, with a flavorful bite that belies its fully vegan composition. Made with jackfruit, these dumplings are soy-free, gluten-free, cholesterol-free, zero trans fat, and rich in fibre, rendering them a nutritious comfort food option. I have been enjoying them pan-fried with a small amount of oil to achieve crisp edges, followed by a splash of water to maintain their tenderness. They are suitable as a snack, side dish, or incorporated into more creative culinary presentations. Plantropy dumplings are available at Loblaws and Real Canadian Superstore, as well as online, and also come in Sichuan flavor, allowing for a choice between two distinct options. This product embodies simple, plant-based cuisine executed flawlessly. @plantropylife

Playntropy is planticious
I was very skeptics to try these as I'm not a big tan of plant based toods, but these were pertectly crispy on the outside and soft and full of flavour on the inside. I love that they are cholesterol free and high in fibre, making it a healthier alternative to meat dumplings. The chicken flavour is very realistic with a perfect balance of seasoning. My children refuse to eat vegetables of anything that isn't chicken and they loved these. I pan fried these with some olive oil and served them with a side of white rice. The small ingredient list is a testament to "a little bit goes a long way."

Amazing clean vegan gyoza! You'll be surprised!
flavours were bold and strong. It has a bit of a strong pepper kick which I loved but this may not be your thing if you have a mild spice tolerance.
I decided to try it as a snack initally, but devoured all of them because they were so tasty. Opppsssyy.
I'm a fitness buff and I always care about the label and what I'm eating. I appreciate the clean ingredients, low cholesterol and no trans fats!
If I were blind-testing this, I'd say the flavour is amazing, especially if I didn't know it was vegan. I was pleasantly surprised. The product tasted like chicken and jackfruit.
Also, I would have thought there would be a bunch of chemicals to make it taste so good. But surprised again, the ingredients list is super clean!!
What a great vegan option!! I love that 10 dumplings has 64% fibre needs too! This was easy to cook up. Approx 12 mins and great for a single mom with a toddler on a busy schedule. I wouldn't recommend bringing this to a gathering unless your steaming it because they stuck to my pan quite badly and wasn't the prettiest end result compared to traditional potstickers. But perhaps if I chose an alternative method I would have had better presentation. But, I found it was perfect just on its own and fit my macros. Product gifted by Plantrophy! Thanks so much for the opportunity!!

Unique dumplings with a twist
I recently had the chance to try the Plantropy Jackfruit Dumplings 🥟in exchange for my honest opinion, and they were a fun and unique find.
I picked them up at my local Real Canadian Superstore in the natural foods frozen section.
The flavor is unlike any other dumplings I’ve had before, savory with a subtle sweetness and a kick of heat 🌶️ that makes them stand out in a nice way.
I love that they’re vegan 🌱 and made with such a clean ingredient list. They’re free from cholesterol, rich in fibre, and contain no trans fats. Plus, they’re free from soy, gluten, sugar and sulphites which makes them a great option for so many different dietary needs ✅.
Prep was super easy, which I can appreciate on those busy nights. I pan-fried mine because that’s how I prefer my dumplings, and the texture was perfect: nicely chewy with the right amount of crisp on the outside. They ended up being a great main dish when I needed something quick but still satisfying.
Might be a bit spicy for younger kiddos or those with a sensitive palate, but these dumplings were a great discovery, and my husband and I really enjoyed them. They are convenient, vegan, and genuinely delicious. I’ll definitely be grabbing them again! 💙

I am not even vegan and actually really liked it!
I won't lie, I was hesitant about trying these especially after my sister's tofurkey one year. *Shudders*
HOWEVER, these dumplings made me a believer in vegan products actually tasting as they say they would! While dumpling exterior was a texture issue for me (this is definitely a me problem), the taste was delicious!! I will definitely being recommended these to my vegan friends who want dumplings.
