OUMPH! Review
By reb - 07:19
I was so excited when the announcement was made that Tesco would be stocking Swedish vegan brand Oumph! in the UK.
I'd stumbled across them a few months back on Instagram and noticed that there were a number of independent food stores that stocked the brand but sadly none were near me.
Thankfully, veganism in the UK seems to exploding into the mainstream at an incredible rate and i definitely feel that Tesco are one of the leaders in making veganism so accessible.
So naturally I had to get my paws on these immediately. My local Tesco didn't stock these on the day of release but I managed to pick them up at the weekend.
So the brand themselves are entirely vegan. From first glances at their website, they also seem to be big on environmental issues. This has been taken from their FAQ about why their brand is SO GOOD:
"First and foremost, comes the texture. It’s the base of the wickedly good taste experience! We believe in mouthwatering food. Food that inspires, but that’s also easy to cook and fills you up. Then comes the fact that it’s incredibly healthy. And finally, because it’s really good for the environment. The climate impact of Oumph! is impeccably low and something we’re incredibly proud of.
Our life cycle analysis indicates 1.39kg CO2e per kilo raw material. Or 8.2kg CO2e per kg protein. That’s so awesome that we’ve stopped comparing our climate impact with meat and instead are benchmarking it against the planetary boundaries. Plain and simple, Oumph! is food that can be enough for everyone without messing up the climate. Yeah!
It’s also something that everyone can eat, no matter if they’re a vegetarian, flexitarian, meat eater or vegan. And as long as no one is allergic to soya protein, when you put Oumph! on the table, everyone eats!
And of course, it’s just so easy and quick to cook. Fast, fair and good food. What more could you want?"
I'm sold! So first up is the kebab pieces! They have a very similar flavour to the lidl vegan gyros if you managed to try them when they had their vegan week in January!
They have just the right amount of flavour and spice and the texture made me second guess myself for a moment...was this definitely vegan?!
It's a yes from me!
These are incredible and at £3.50 a pack I think they are good value for money (I used around 1/3 of the pack for this wrap)
Watch out for my reviews of the other two products...coming soon!
