Unfortunately, I wasnt sold

I picked up Plantropy’s Jackfruit Dumplings because at 7.99, the price is actually great for a plant-based meal. One of the biggest barriers to going veg is cost, and this totally solves that. Plus, it’s frozen, so it’s perfect for those “oops, I forgot to defrost dinner again” nights.

But here’s where it lost me: the flavour just wasn’t there. It needed more seasoning, more spice, more… something. I’ve tried Plantropy’s kebabs before and those are genuinely great, so I had high hopes. The dumplings just didn’t hit the same. And portion-wise? Definitely not enough for 2 (even with a side) which makes the price per person a smidge higher. So unfortunately, this one wasn’t a win for me. Loved the price. Loved the convenience. But the taste and portion size just didn’t deliver. 🤷‍♀️

I wanted to like these

I really wanted to like these, I love trying new foods and sometimes new things are just a miss. This was my first time trying jackfruit in a dumpling format, and the texture and flavour of the filling was ok. But the wrapper was a bit off putting for me. It also fell apart while cooking - which might have been user error but I have dumplings at least once a week and this rarely happens so I'm not sure. The texture of the wrapper was different than what I'm used to. I also think the price of these is wild, for the same price I can get a very large bag of dumplings. Anyways, these were interesting to try but I probably wouldn't buy these again.
