Healthy, good for planet earth

I've ordered their burgers on a few occasions. They are made from kelp, and they have an unmistakable kelp-like taste. I usually fry it and try to mix it with other things (vegetables, almonds, sauces)--it does take a bit getting used to, but I like them, and they are healthier than typical vegan burgers. If you buy in bulk, the price is not that bad. Furthermore, the burgers I have ordered have always arrived cold, so they evidently pack them well.

Would buy again

So far I've only tried their "burgers", but I thoroughly enjoyed them so I'll definitely be ordering their jerky next. The burgers are great as is or cooked and crumbled into vegan mac and cheese to get a ground texture going. They have a great taste, definitely something different to most of the plant based burgers on the market and much more sustainable as well compared to most. Would recommend them, 10/10.

Pros: Sustainable, very tasty, delivery packaging isn't as wasteful as most

Cons: a bit more crumbly than was expecting, paper sometimes sticks when removing it
