Grizzly Foods Vegan Jerky Teriyaki

Grizzly Foods Vegan Jerky Teriyaki — sweet, savoury and entirely plant-based

Grizzly Foods Vegan Jerky Teriyaki is a soy-based jerky in a brewed teriyaki-style marinade, dried and briefly smoked over beech wood. It is the sweet-savoury one of the three meat-free Grizzly bags, and the easiest place to start if you have never tried plant-based jerky.

Why this one

• Aromatics you can taste: turmeric, lemongrass and ginger give it more to say than a plain sweet marinade would.
• Sweetened without sugar: erythritol does that job, so it reads sweet without tipping into confectionery.
• Protein-dense, high in fibre: plant-based and genuinely filling.
• European soy: Grizzly Foods buys its plant protein from growers in Europe.

How Grizzly Foods makes it

Textured, defatted soy is soaked in a traditionally brewed soy sauce marinade until it turns properly savoury, and then carries turmeric, lemongrass and ginger into the mix. A short pass over beech wood smoke finishes it off. Grizzly Foods uses natural ingredients throughout and no meat at any stage, which is the clever bit when the flavour is this familiar.

Taste and texture: a warm golden sweetness up front from the marinade, then lemongrass and ginger cutting across it, then a long savoury finish that keeps the whole thing from reading as dessert. The pieces are dense and slow to chew, and they stay dry in the hand rather than tacky. This is the friendliest bag in the vegan trio.

Who it is for

Anyone approaching meat-free jerky with a raised eyebrow, because the sweetness makes the first bag an easy sell. It works as an afternoon snack at a desk, and it is the one to buy for the person in your life who eats plant-based and keeps being handed fruit bars by well-meaning colleagues.

Frequently asked

• What is it made from? Soy, marinated and dried. No meat, and none of the theatrics that usually come with a meat substitute.
• How sweet is it? Sweet enough to notice, not enough to bother anyone who normally eats savoury snacks.
• How should it be kept? Cool, dry, and sealed once opened. No fridge required before that.
