We’re in New York City for the holidays again, and paid a visit to Haymaker’s Corner<\/a> – an all vegan grocery store in Brooklyn, NY. We had pre-ordered a holiday meal from them<\/a>, and some stuff from Vegan Treats<\/a> – and luckily, the night before, they also got in a shipment of Follow Your Heart’s new(ish) Vegan Egg<\/a>. I also ordered two boxes from Rabbit Food Grocery<\/a> in Austin and had it shipped to NYC.<\/p>\n

At the moment if you wanted to order it to Canada, Vegan Essentials<\/a> and Food Fight Grocery<\/a>\u00a0are the only two places I’ve seen offering this product with shipping to Canadian addresses.<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

Like I mentioned when reviewing The Vegg<\/a>, I never liked cheese, which seems like the ubiquitous missed vegan item (though that’s changed with all the amazing alternatives) but I\u00a0have\u00a0missed the occasional scrambled or over-easy egg. Of course – never\u00a0enough to consider eating a non-vegan egg. So when I saw this product appear online during the\u00a0Supply Side West<\/a>\u00a0convention\u00a0in Las Vegas earlier this year, I was pretty excited to find out more.<\/p>\n

The Vegg<\/a> is great for those over easy eggs yolks I was missing (with some spherification), but did not work out quite as well as I hoped as a scramble. The promo images from the trade show showed the VeganEgg<\/strong> was something that could be scrambled with a similar looking\u00a0texture, so I was curious and interested in trying it, and ever since have been trying to figure out an effective way of getting some into my grubby little hands.<\/p>\n

I started harassing Follow Your Heart<\/a> online to find out when it would be in Canada and when we could start selling it at the V Word Market<\/a>, and they mentioned that they were aiming to have Canadian compliant labels in 2016. I’m interested in how they’ll go about this for a couple of reasons – Follow Your Heart has to use Earth Island in Canada, because they can’t have “Heart” in their name but they did mention they were planning on calling it VeganEgg<\/strong> in Canada as well, so we’ll see how that plays out this year. But I’m optimistic.<\/p>\n

What’s in the box?<\/h2>\n

\"VeganEgg<\/a>I wondered when I saw the cartons\u00a0if this would be a liquid or a powdered product. Well, it’s a powder!<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n
