Loma Linda Tender Bits, 19-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)

Tender Bits are a variety of seitan/wheat meat and replace chicken breast in many recipes. They are best prepared sliced and sauteed until crispy with olive oil and garlic, and spiced according to taste. Prepared in this manner, they make an excellent topping for rice or pasta dishes, and are especially good when finished with barbeque sauce. What's great about Tender Bits is that they can be kept on hand in the cupboard instead of the freezer, where many a package of seitan has met its untimely end.

These make a great addition to stir fry. I've also just dipped them into sauces after frying them (breaded or not). Can't beat the nutritional value or the taste with any other canned chicken substitute I've found.

I've been eating these for about 40 years. My mother used to cook them when I was a kid and I still eat them today. I've been having trouble finding them since I moved to NC and wa delighted to find them on Amazon. Coat them in cracker crumb/flour/yeast and fry them in toasted sesame oil.

Tender Bits are my absolute favorite food in the world, and I'm not even vegetarian. Coat them in a mixture of flour, brewer's yeast, and whatever else you want; fry them up in olive oil; and enjoy! Do whatever my grandmother does to them and you'll know why they're my favorite. Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!

I am SO HAPPY to see them on Amazon. It's hard to get my hands on these little buggers living overseas with the military.

I ate this stuff before going vegetarian a few years ago,and I eat it a bunch now. Low fat,packed with protein,super versatile in cooking and tastes great. Highly recommended!
