I am amazed at the creativity of El Burrito Foods, manufacturer of salsas, guacamoles and soy-based meatless foods, for coming up with a meatless sausage in partnership with The Solae Company. The Solae brand soy protein does not fall under GMO foods and is 100 percent soy beans. The flavors offered in Soy Sausages or the alternative of traditional Chorizo offers Kelbasa, Sun Dried Tomato & Basil, Chicken Chipotle and Chicken with Apples and Cranberries.
As far as health benefits are concerned these soy sausages are good for cardiac patients and also those suffering from diabetes as they are zero in cholesterol, zero in sodium nitrite, 46 percent fewer calories and 57 percent fewer calories from fat. These sausages come in 12oz packages containing 4 links of sausages, costing only $6. Efforts have been done to make these sausages taste the same as chorizo…good for those who have left chicken at the outbreak of bird flu. These sausages use the same spices as used in chorizo with addition of Canola oil for improved taste and texture. As per Mark Roth, co-owner of El Burrito:
We know that consumers refuse to compromise taste for wellness. By leveraging The Solae Company’s leadership in R&D against our own formulation expertise, we have introduced a meat-free sausage with remarkable taste and texture.
The Soy Rizo and soy sausages products are sure to lure both vegetarians and non-vegetarians and is a good way to promote proteins promising same taste and quality like that of chicken sausage.
