MorningStar Farms has created a scrumptious-looking Hickory BBQ Riblets dish that will satisfy anyone's craving for meat. Whether a clean-eating vegetarian wants to spice up their dinner, especially as the cold winter weather settles in or a onetime carnivore is seeking ways to curb cravings, this food product has them covered. It is covered in a sweet and smoky barbecue sauce, which is something not often associated with vegetarian meals.
Predominantly made up of soy protein concentrate and texture wheat protein, the MorningStar Farms Hickory BBQ Riblets is meant to be a dietary exchange for two very lean meats and two carbohydrates. Currently distributed in the United States, the Hickory BBQ Riblets can be prepared in a number of ways including casual wraps and more formal dinners.
