Last August at Vida Vegan Con we were dazzled by the food vendors. Many of us fell in love with Upton’s Naturals, a Chicago-based company that produces gourmet seitan. I have read on many blogs that Upton’s is making its way into stores across the country but I have yet to see it in New York. Of course, I’ve been busy making my own seitan…
…anyway…
A few weeks ago Spencer’s Market (who, like Vegan Cuts, offers weekly deals on vegan products) offered an Upton’s Naturals deal that I could not pass up:
Spencer’s Market is offering 6 different seitan products (!), including a limited edition Bacon-style seitan not available in stores. Use the ground style in lasagna and the chorizo style in your tacos; try the Italian one with some spaghetti and use the “bacon” in a BLT. And when you don’t feel like cooking? Heat up the corn tamales…
$23 on the seitan + shipping + cold pak = $30 for all of this:
And these:
Hail Seitan!
I tossed the seitan and “bacon” into the freezer and the tamales into my steamer.
So spicy! So delicious! So in love with seitan!

These sound wonderful and what a deal! It’s been too long since I’ve had tamales!
SO good!
That looks awesome, JL.
I bought that package and loved the tamales but as a newbie Vegan I’m not sure how to cook the Seitan bacon. Do you just fry it like regular bacon?
Hi there! I haven’t made the bacon yet (hmmmm, I need to try some for brunch tomorrow!) but, yes, I will fry it up in a skillet but will probably only use a cooking spray. Have you tried any of the crumbled products yet? I added some to tomato sauce this week…YUM!
