Details

With all the meaty, smoky flavor of conventional applewood bacon but none of the meat, this Umaro plant-based vegan bacon is the sustainable addition to your breakfast menu that you've been searching for! With 51 strips per pound, each case goes a long way in value-conscious restaurants. This innovative product is crafted using sustainably-sourced red seaweed, providing a rich, meaty, umami flavor that is derived from nature. The seaweed is complemented by protein-rich chickpeas, a blend of natural spices and plant-based colors, and a sprinkle of sea salt for vegan bacon that looks, tastes, and cooks like pork bacon! This plant-based alternative takes less land and water resources to produce than conventional meat, and it's healthy, too. This product is lower in fat than traditional bacon and contains no cholesterol, making it a heart-healthy choice. This plant-based bacon is great for meat-eaters, vegans, vegetarians, and even customers who follow religious lifestyles that prevent them from eating certain types of meat!

Bacon is a popular ingredient in breakfast, lunch, and dinner recipes, making this vegan version a must-have ingredient for your restaurant or cafe. Serve these plant-based strips alongside vegan egg dishes and toast to create a traditional breakfast spread, pile it high on sandwiches and vegan burgers, or include it in wraps to add a savory, umami flavor to your signature recipes! You can also chop it up to use as a topper in soups, salads, pizzas, and pasta dishes to infuse your recipes with meaty flavor. This vegan bacon offers versatile preparation options, making it a convenient addition to your kitchen. To prepare, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and cook for 2-3 minutes. It can also be cooked in a fryer heated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 seconds or on a lightly oiled skillet / griddle on low-medium heat for about 2 minutes each side. To make your bacon chewy, cook it a little less; for extra-crispy bacon, cook it a little longer! This bulk 5 lb. case includes 255 strips of vegan bacon, ensuring your establishment will remain well stocked with this delicious ingredient.

Umaro Foods is on a mission to create plant-based meat alternatives from an unexpected source: ocean-farmed seaweed. Seaweed farming is widely regarded as one of the most sustainable aquaculture practices. It requires only sunlight and naturally occurring marine nutrients, helps to remove excess nutrients from ecosystems that harm marine life, and can even help to mitigate the effects of ocean acidification. In addition to being a planet-friendly protein source, the seaweed that Umaro uses to make their products offers a uniquely rich, meaty, umami flavor that's created without the use of artificial ingredients. Umaro products are a great way to add sustainable options to your menu without compromising on flavor and texture!

Amazing texture, flavor, and appearance. Be careful when cooking - easy to overcook and burn it. Experiment and then cook the same way every time. It's best when baked or pan fried. But I even like it microwaved (which is kinda sacrilegious, i know, but it's done in 30 secs..). Pretty oily. Store it flat so the oil doesn't collect at the bottom of the bag. You can pat off the excess oil after cooking and it still tastes great. Don't refrigerate.

So delicious! I first tried this at a restaurant and then had to buy some for myself. I love that it's shelf stable, so even though I'm buying in bulk, it'll last for a while and doesn't take up room in the fridge. I'm vegan and it's one of the best vegan bacon alternatives I've tried so far, recreating that perfect rich, fatty texture bacon has. Good unami flavor, I can't wait to experiment with this!

This is hands down the best vegan bacon we have tried, and we have tried them all. 2.5 minutes in the air fryer till it blisters for best texture.

This product is the BEST plant-based bacon I have ever tasted, and it is shelf-stable (cherry on top!). It is for personal use (I am now stocked-up for the impending zombie apocalypse). Terrific customer service.

I just ordered my third or fourth case of this? I first heard of Umaro through my friend who owns a local grocery chain here. She tried a sample at a food expo and texted a whole thread of people saying, "this is going to be huge". She was apparently right. It's salty for sure (but so is bacon!) but it's the only vegan bacon that has that fatty, umami packed bite to it. I find air fryer is the best method. You can undercook it a little for a chewier bacon but also make it crispy for breaking and tossing on top of pasta or salad. Makes an amazing sandwich topping.

They are good but very salty. I'm not use to that.

Thank you for the review, Margaret! For an alternative that might better meet your needs, try this Beleaf plant-based vegan bacon instead!
