Next Meats review:
Overall, we were very much impressed with the products. There is a soft and tenderness to each and every bite that we haven’t taste with other plant based meat offerings. The mouth feel is something Next Meats said they wanted to perfect and they did so well in our opinions.
We truly enjoyed each of the three products that we were able to try.
The Short Rib and Skirt Steak tasted almost indistinguishable from each other. There was a slight flavor difference, but the texture is the same.
We do also hope that as the products hit’s more of the market the price comes down a bit. At just under $5 a package for the best option, the overall pricing is high per page. We said that these would be single serving packages that would only feed one person on average.
To sum it up in one sentence, you will enjoy Next Meats if you get a chance to try!
