Oh Naturel - Black Bean Bites

11/25/2017

I was so excited to spot the Oh Naturel line at the grocery store after trying their chik'n nuggets a few weeks back. I loved the nuggets so I was expecting the rest of their line to be equally as delicious. I decided to go with the black bean bites because I had everything I needed at home for some delicious wraps.

There's a pretty good amount of bites in the bag so you can definitely stretch them out over a few meals. They looked like little meatballs coming out of the bag which was perfect for my wraps. The bag gives instructions for the oven or stove top and I decided to go with the oven to hopefully get a nice crisp on the outside.

Although they didn't get as crispy on the outside as I'd hoped, they were pretty freakin' delicious! I loved the flavour of the bites and really picked up on the cumin in them.
They had a really great texture as well which made them easy to eat. Often times, I find bean balls / burgers have a bit of a refried bean consistency inside but these actually had quite a nice bite to them. They definitely held up to the chipotle mayo and salsa in my wrap without getting soggy or falling apart.

I strongly recommend picking these up if you spot them at the grocery store. Having tried two of their products so far, I'd say Oh Naturel is one of my favourite plant based frozen food makers. I'm looking forward to trying the rest of the products they offer especially after these tasty black bean bites!

Hello Pauline!

Although I've prepared Black Bean Burgers in the past, I did try some white bean and basil meatballs that you may enjoy! Here's the recipe below!

I found a bag of these at the back of my freezer, probably from 2018 or 2019. Still great! Some I cooked in the oven, some I microwaved then cooked in a pan with a bit of oil. Unfortunately I think Maple Leaf has discontinued these, I haven't seen any in years. Since they bought both Lightlife and Fieldburger, they probably have less interest in making other vegetarian products.

I think you're right Kay, less of an interest in making those vegetarian products any longer. Unfortunate if you ask me.

Unfortunately I haven't seen a similar product on the market. Even frozen Falafel is difficult to find. Of course I can cook from scratch, but the point of having frozen foods on hand is convenience, when you dont have time.

I seem to have a bit of a better selection here in Windsor, Ontario Canada! That's unfortunate but I agree Kay , being able to cook is fine, but the convenience is nice after a long day / week.
