Review: Adams Rib



I have been way to slow getting the good word out about Gardenburger. They created this scrumptious fake meat product that is hearty and flavorful. Riblets come two to a box and are individually wrapped. You pierce the plastic wrapper and shove the whole thing in the microwave. Two minutes later you have a big chunk of 'Riblet' in a better that good sauce. The Riblet itself pulls apart like its meat cousin. They really nailed the texture. The sauce it good and smoky. Unlike other fake rib or spare rib product Riblets have no hint of bone-like matter. There's no bone, no fake bone, no molded bone, no picture of a bone and no bone replication.

Riblets are found in the freezer section with about 8 to 10 other similar Gardenburger products. This series is all quite good but all have the same flaws: A bit pricey, too much packaging, and small portions. Nonetheless, I would say you should still sample this product at least once. I don't think it will be on your weekly list but I don;t think you might crave it once and while and bring it home as a treat. I know I do.



Meatless Riblet (Soy Protein Concentrate-Hydrated, Wheat Gluten-Hydrated, Canola Oil, Natural Hickory Smoke Flavor, Yeast Extract, Isolated Soy Protein, Vegetable Gum, Salt, Corn Grits, Malted Barley, Sunflower Oil, Natural Flavors, Caramel Color, Water), Barbecue Sauce (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Water, Tomato Puree, Molasses, Distilled Vinegar, Salt, Modified Food Starch, Natural Smoke Flavor, Spices, Dried Onion, Dried Garlic, Cayenne Pepper).

  • Overall Rating: 4
  • Similarity to meat (but in a good way): 5
  • Similarity to actual food described: 4
  • "Worth it?" Rating: 3
  • "Would I get them again?": 4
    This product contains corn, soy, sunflower and wheat.
