A decent review from a meat eater's perspective
I usually eat meat, so trying a jackfruit-based kebab was definitely a bit of a stretch for me. While I didn't mind it, it didn't quite hit the mark for my personal taste. However, there were several things about it that were quite impressive.
The Highlights
- Cooking and Appearance: These kebabs look great and fry up very nicely in the pan.
- Scent: The smell is actually really decent and appetizing while it's cooking.
- Texture: This was the most surprising part. The texture is good and it rips apart very much like real meat. It even looks like meat on the inside, which was a bit weird but honestly pretty cool.
The Taste
The flavor was just okay for me. As someone who eats meat regularly, the taste didn't quite appeal to me. That said, I shared some with a vegetarian friend and she absolutely loved them.
Final Verdict
If you are looking for a meat alternative that nails the "look and feel" of a kebab, this is a solid choice. If you are a dedicated meat eater, you might find the flavor lacking, but for vegetarians or those used to plant-based swaps, this seems to be a winner.

Even better than I imagined!
As a gym girly and a mom, this is the perfect meat replacement.
I'm surprisingly really impressed with the flavour from the aromas i couldnt resist and ate all four !
I'm so excited to try out the other foods they have like the dumplings they are next !
but 10 out of 10 highly recommend the jackfruit kebab !

Jackfruit Dumps
They weren't easy to find in Superstore. Needed to check the healthy foods aisle.
The texture is alright. I thought the dumpling skin was a bit mushy. However the taste of the filling is quite good. Has a little kick to it.

Good option for vegetarians
I don’t eat many vegetarian meals, our household likes meat and her meals, but I was intrigued to try this product because I’m always open to trying new food items and seeing if I can switch out for a healthier non-meat option. While these tasted decent, I wasn’t the biggest fan of them. I have. Bathing with textures. It was more a personal preference, but these are a great option for somebody who loves jackfruit and who loves vegetarian options. These wouldn’t be my go to, but if I was offered them I would still eat them.

A great way to try something vegan
I asked my mom if she'd be interested in trying the snack pack with me and she agreed to try. She thought it sounded like it would go great with a Greek salad and Taziki sauce and I agreed. We enjoyed a lovely lunch. We felt it smelt great, had a pleasant spice level and was a sausage consistency. The interesting thing about the kebabs is that they are Free of cholesterol, rich in fibre, zero trans fat, soy, gluten, sugar and sulphite free. We picked them up at the Real Canadian Superstore in the natural food section. Thewere easy to fry up in a pan and I could see how this would be a great filling snack for on the go. It is full of protein so it would keep you running on the go. My three year old agreed it smelt good but wasn't brave enough to try it this time. All in all I definitely try it again when I was shopping at Superstore.

It's a good alternative but
I really like the concept of having a vegan kebab for those who didn't eat meat. I do prefer no meat days and love to eat this on those days but taste wise it doesn't come anywhere close to a neat kebab. But i love how it's gluten free and cholesterol free to and it's so easy to make. I like to eat this as a snack instead of a full meal.
I will totally recommend this if you can't eat meat

Personally, Just Okay
This is my first time trying Plantropy. I’ve tried vegan meat alternatives before, and these are fairly good. These come frozen, and I did have them defrosted in my fridge for a few days. They did come out quite mushy out of the packaging and didn’t notice the ‘keep frozen’ label on the packaging. These did cook up and brown really nicely regardless. I found the texture to be just okay; some parts had more of a ‘meaty’ chew, but overall, it did have what I would call a vegan/vegetarian meat texture. It had some chew and some ‘crunchier’ bits to it. I was not expecting these kebabs to be as spiced as they were. Out of the package, they do smell spiced, and they tasted spicier than I was expecting. I personally like spicy food, but if you were not expecting these to be spicy, then I would consider them mildly spicy. I also personally found these to be quite salty on their own, and they do have quite a high salt content per kebab according to their nutrition facts. My partner put the kebab in a wrap and it gave the wrap a nice flavor and the veggies, sauce and wrap helped to even out the salt level. Overall, they were fine for a quick and easy meal, but not my favourite. I would try some of Plantropy’s other products but I don’t see myself purchasing these again.
