"As a former seafood lover, it is a bit hard to find a seafood alternative on the market that has a tasteful "fish" flavor. The Ocean's Delight is closest to the real thing without being too fishy. Serve it over rice and / or with vegetables and you'll have a delicious meal!"

"Spicy Bits was my favorite. It wasn’t as spicy as I expected but it went really well mixed as a stir-fry. I mixed this with red onion, bell pepper slices, and broccoli. Then served the mix on top of quinoa. YUM!"

"Another recently-introduced product from ecoVegan is Orientals' Joy. These tender meat-free nuggets are vegan, made from soy protein and lightly seasoned. They can be used in stir fries or chopped up in a salad. Orientals' Joy nuggets are also free from genetically modified ingredients."

I have a lot more wounds now.. both physically and mentally, for what's been going on; and I hope things will go smoother soon too. 

Sunshine Patties Review

Halo Monday again!  Are you having a meatless one like we do? 

Here's a review for sunshine patties (a.k.a sunshine who? according to previous post) by James Bean of Spiritual Awakening Radio.

Note to self: This image color looks quite different from what we have... ? Not sure why.

Peta's Annual Thanksgiving

I was happy to have stayed at the Peta's Annual Thanksgiving! Alex was great in presentation and speaking for the food demo prep, and the Peta staffs were very friendly, and the attendees loved our spicy bits (and hopefully they will continue to support!), what more can I say!?  We will continue to work hard and launch to the conventional grocery markets to really support the compassionate and sustainable lifestyle! 
 

Sunshine Who?

As it turns out, the sunshine burger/patty is quite a name.  This acquaintance of mine once asked me if I were going to run into any problem with the sunshine burger WholeFoods sell, and I didn't take it so seriously; and now here comes my lesson. 

In the Q&A on mentoring, I answered his question of how to choose a company name by searching the USPTO database, but did I not do it for my product name?  

How silly was I that we even have the Sunshine Burger's packaging and looking at it for a good period of time but not noticing it is actually a company but not just a product!!  

So lesson of the day: always check USPTO before you name your company, product, or anything that you are going to sell otherwise you could run into infringement of someone else's trademark!  Good luck!

We will now take actions to this!  

First "public" review for ecoVegan's Sunshine Patties, and our responses.

Dear user WillParkinson (Will Bowden): 

I hope one day you will be able to see this message and got our replies.  

I want to thank you first for trying ecoVegan products and giving your honest review, this helps us to learn further about our customers and how we can improve for serving more public.

First, on the nutrition label you have pointed out something that could causes confusion for the consumers, and here we apologize.  

Our current serving sizes are based on the weight portion not the actual quantity; therefore 3 patties with total weight 7.1oz making serving size 4 of each recommended 1.8oz portion.  We also realized this was not easily understood and are already making changes accordingly for our next batch of packaging.  In the future Sunshine Patties will have 3 servings and with its respective nutrition information.  I hope this clarifies. 

The same information is also available on our FAQ page for our customers, and we hope this will not be any stopping point for the consumers to give us a try.


Second, there might be a misunderstanding of the 38% of the fat; because if that's the case we would not call it healthy at all.  Each serving size 1.8oz contains 6.05g, which is 9.31% of Fat. 

When we consider smart, we consider the choice is smart because the consumers are making a positive change for switching out of meat, for the fact the ecoVegan's products are quick and easy to prepare, and for a more compassionate and sustainable solution.  When we consider healthy, in addition to the dietary nutrition facts, we also consider the choice is healthy for the planet, for our mind, body, and spirit, and healthy for eco-balance. 


Perhaps these are something we hope to share along with the consumers and to grow with us into the plant-based path. 


Dear WillParkinson, you have been great and honest and provide your valuable feedback, and we hope you understand our perspectives by above replies.  We thank you for your support, and continue welcome your constructive comments!




Many wishes for your happiness and a compassionate vegan world. 


Regards, 
ecoVegan staff.
