★☆☆☆☆
Truly vile. Tastes nothing like eggs; literally made me sick to my stomach. Caveat emptor.
Expectations were high for this product, based upon other's reviews and the videos in which they have people on the street tasting it and proclaiming it either indistinguishable from, or even better than normal eggs. Those videos are obviously works of fiction. This product is not even remotely close to eggs in anything but color. Texture: cardboard boxes pureed with canola oil, tapioca, and preservatives. Flavor: somewhere between cardboard and a dish cloth. Yes, really--this was absolutely disgusting. There is no WAY those videos are real. Absolutely impossible. This product was revolting (a strong word, I know, but it is accurate). I ordered two bottles. The first bottle seemed to cook up properly with onions and herbs de Provence, but it was barely palatable--truly gross. It also produced mild nausea which lasted about two hours. I figured I should use it up, so against my better judgment, I opened the second bottle a few days later. The second bottle was different - no matter how much I shook it, it seemed significantly thicker than the first, definitely not indicative of consistent product quality. This time, I added it to some cooked Soyrizo (soy-based chorizo; fantastic stuff which tastes just like chorizo), and the result was inedible (I have made Soyriozo and eggs countless times--one of my favorite breakfasts). I threw it away after eating about half of it. It tasted like wet cardboard with Soyrizo. Within 45 minutes, I was ill, throwing up. I think the JUST Egg had possibly spoiled, well before the best by date. Conclusion: this was a failed experiment, and ultimately, a gastric nightmare. And no, it has nothing to do with mung beans--I know I can eat them. As for the videos, this feels like false advertising. Anyone who claims this is indistinguishable from eggs is lying. I also have some of the frozen pre-made stuff I bought at the same time, which I have not used. I will likely toss it. This was both a waste of money and a terrible gastric experience. I will never buy this again. Yuck. Caveat emptor.
