About Bacon bits, meatless
Meatless bacon bits are a shelf-stable, intensely flavored product made primarily from textured soy protein, with fat and salt added to mimic the smokiness and crunch of real bacon crumbles. The protein content is genuinely high, and fiber is notable as a byproduct of the soy base. Fat is substantial too, as is the carbohydrate fraction from binders and flavorings. These are used strictly as a topping, scattered over salads, baked potatoes, or soups. Because they are so concentrated and salty, a small amount delivers a lot of flavor without needing much volume.
