In India, mung bean and sometimes other lentils are soaked and ground with other ingredients to make a a dish called "chilla" which is like an omelette. You can add many things including black salt (Kala namak) which gives it an eggy smell/taste.
I just ate them at a vegan restaurant for the first time the other day and my bf had to taste to make sure they weren’t actually eggs because I was convinced they messed up my order!!!
I got a little carried away in the details here and didn't go as practical as I could have. My goal was to take a level-headed look at ingredient risk and I was happy to show that some of these scary sounding ingredients are not scary but that doesn't mean they are all healthy. Of course it is up to the individual to decide whether to eat it or not based on their risks, goals, etc. I personal view this product as healthier than other products with an ingredient list this long and you now know how I feel about it compared to eggs. I never missed eggs as a vegan so I won't be eating this often but I don't think those that regularly eat it should be shamed. That is more or less the commentary that was missing from the video.

Try soaking 1/2 cup or more of split mung beans (moong dal at any Indian market) in 6x water overnight, drain, and rinse (eliminates some of the beany flavor) Throw it into a blender with enough plant milk to get a loose pancake consistency, then add in your favorite seasonings, a bit of nooch, a TBS of tapioca starch, enough turmeric to color it, and kala namak (eggy black salt).

I didn't buy Just Egg for a long time because I assumed it wasn't healthy. When I finally tried it I was pleasantly surprised. I love it now! I still consider it a treat though and mostly stick to my tofu scramble (or I mix the two together).
I recently found Just Egg and really like it. Thank you for this break down. I mix it with spinach and other veggies for breakfast and don’t miss eggs at all.
@@vladimirerfan7721 you can have cravings and not be lacking something. really this person is probably missing the carbs and sweetness of french toast, not the subtle egg flavor in it … they’re not going to eat the real thing because they don’t want to eat animal products. and that’s perfectly okay. you eat your animal products and we’ll eat our substitutes and everyone’s happy :)
I don't know why people are so attached to scrambled eggs. You needed so many eggs just to have a decent amount of food. I make a potato scramble instead with lots of veggies. If I REALLY want an egg taste then I'll add black salt but most times I leave it off.
@@MistMonkey Uh, no. People are just nostalgic for tastes they grew up with and ate most of their lives. And I ate tons of eggs and I still had B12, D, and omega-3 vitamin deficiencies. I was also 75 pounds overweight and had high cholesterol, which eggs are LOADED with. I'm far healthier after getting rid of them.
I made Yeung Man Cooking channel and cooked the Just Egg separately, drizzled it with toasted sesame oil, and added to his pad thai recipe. All the angelic host rejoiced, right there in my happy taste buds
I'd love to see a dupe recipe. How cool would it be if it was in powder form and we could store a decent sized amount in the pantry then add water when we were ready to make some. Wishful thinking... but seriously. Make it happen.
Would be really useful some more videos where you talk about some of the ingredients in processed vegan food (like you went through with JustEgg). I try to make everything myself, but sometimes I buy snacks and there's always a whole list of obscure names - and I never know how safe or okay they are!
Me: **yawn** Time for bed, I'm exhausted and need a full 8 hours. **RUclips notifies me that Mic the Vegan has posted another video** Also me: Time is only a man made concept and I don't abide to it
Another (not so surprising) find I made was just how amazing pairing Just Egg with White Pepper and onion powder is. Hopefully we also get the good one-two punch effect from Tumeric and Pepper.
I've been a lacto vegitarian since the 70's. I just tried Just eggs for the first time and I'm very impressed!!! So thankful for this product and I definitely appreciate this health information. Thank you for delving so deeply into the ingredients!!!
As an avid user of Just Egg, I had been thinking about exactly this subject, but now feel a bit better about it. As he said, whole foods are best. However, when having to cook for a family who are not WFPB, this is a great substitute. Morning omelettes...
I developed an egg allergy when I was a teenager so discovering this product was a dream come true. I've been vegetarian for almost a year now and most of the time stick to vegan everything else too. It's really expanded my enjoyment of cooking. And eating! Great video 😃
@@puffthemagicdragon1115 Yes, he is fair skinned. That’s ok tho, some people just have less melanin. But I was referring to his facial complexion appearing soft and bright. Idk if he has a good skincare routine or something, but I like it!
I like JUST Egg, however every year I try and make improvements on my lifestyle. I have been vegan for 20+ years. This year a committed to a more whole foods, clean diet. I have been eliminating processed foods, unnaturally occurring sugar and oils. Some may say that it's bland, impossible or boring. For me , however, it's been pretty easy to come up with foods I love and consume them in the most natural available state. My weight management has been far easier if not an after thought and I feel really good. It has helped improve my depression symptoms as well. I would love to see your take on a more whole foods version of an "egg" recipe . Thank you for all the good info
i haven't watched your videos in over 3 years and just got a notification when i started thinking about getting back on a vegan diet Edit: was vegan for 2 years and stopped 2 years ago
We bought and enjoyed JUST Eggs gor several years. Then we discovered through YT that we could make our own egg substitute with split yellow mung beans. An overnight soak of the rinsed beans, salt, Tumeric, Kala Namak ( black salt) onion powder and water blended and use for French toast, omelettes, crepes etc. Wonderful and no sneaky ingredients. And SO INEXPENSIVE
Thanks for breaking down these ingredients. I found myself having Just Egg more frequently than I thought I would and kept wondering if it was okay. This gives me more peace of mind, although I know I still need to stick to eating more whole foods.
As someone who's allergic to eggs, Just Egg is an absolute game changer. Tofu scramble is great, but it doesnt come close to the look and texture of real eggs. And the ability to just unscrew the bottle and pour into a pan makes them so much more convenient when making breakfast in the morning.
This video is super informative. I found some on sale and tried them and thought they were EXCELLENT. The best scrambled eggs I've ever had, and no chickens brutalized and tortured. While I knew it was WAY better than real eggs health wise, I feel way more informed about exactly why that's so after this video.
I’ve always hated eggs, cutting them out was the easiest part of my transition to veganism. To just egg’s credit, I don’t like their product but only because it is too realistic 🤷🏻♀️
that’s how i feel right now !! i just tried it. it’s alright and i’m going to try to eat it to not waste it but i prefer tofu scramble. this tastes way too realistic for me
I tried mung bean omelets and it had an off putting flavor for me! Kind of strong. I’m not done experimenting yet though! I finally tried Just Egg recently after trying this mung omelet and it’s very different! You can’t taste the mung really, just barely so they did a good job. It’s good, I just hate plastic packaging.
A youtuber I follow made a mung flour omelette saying it was just like eggs. So I got the mung flour and felt the exact same way you did. Off putting flavor that Just Egg doesn't have.
@@jelatinosa glass will cost more but i agree. carton as aseptic milk is held in might be the same as recyclable plastic. maybe a corn-based plastic is better but either way we created more garbage, so best to use sparingly as a treat.
Thanks for your video. I make "egg" bites every week with these... I cook veggies and put them in a silicon muffin baking sheet and then pour the Just Egg on top and bake for snacks I keep in the fridge when I'm hungry... They're easy fast food throughout the week... I'm glad they are pretty healthy.
The most trouble I had with going on a vegan diet 7 years ago....was giving up eggs. Thank you for this video...because I feel so much better about eating just eggs once a week. I love it and I have no negative reactions eating it. I make a veggie omelet with it....and it really scratches an itch!
Thank you for addressing the igf-1 factor in Just Egg, I was concerned about that. Does the same apply to isolated soy protein in mock meat? In that is it negligible enough to ignore? Or what amounts are safe? TIA! Great video overall. Thanks 💕
Score! We got some healthier non dairy dairy things like that for a penny apiece. I thought they had mismarked until finally the person just writes down one and the scent mark because they were trying to do it with decibels and they messed up. But while they were figuring it out with my partner I was filling a box with every single one of everything and so we had milk products creamers, vegan margarine with cold-pressed oil as opposed to heated solvent extracted like regular grease. I got soy yogurts non-GMO in the big gallon I believe they are those big buckets I think I got 50 Penny apiece I also got minimally processed coconut a few were flavored the rest was just non-flavored also a penny apiece so we went out with his massive cart full of stuff for $22 or something and it was added up to what it was at the regular store and it was literally hundreds of dollars for 20 something or way less? my partner is hearing me use voice to text and they're saying it was way less as a penny apiece a hundred items are a dollar so I guess it was just a few bucks for hundreds of items and luckily they lasted for forever we finished it without even trying and nothing went bad. Luckily there's a fridge at the shop so that's my exciting story of getting things for a penny apiece. They had just marked it or we wouldn't have gotten it and I actually got what is the fake cheese? It reminds me of the word violet anyway we got a bunch of that and another brand the other brand had the better melty kinds of cheese but the one that the Violet name had a smoked one that wasn't a chunk and that was tasty! Like you could have put that on toothpicks with cheese eaters and they wouldn't have known that that was a cheese. I myself have never eaten animal products. I was born allergic and by 3 years old. I liked the point at people's plates and say dead chicken dead cow. It was very hard growing up but now I'm 56 and still vegan. The amount of pesticides and herbicides that have been sprayed around here lately, which is illegal around our condo is killing me. I am allergic to all foods right now and everything's infected. That's really disappointing for a person who hasn't had a virus since they were a baby. Anyway that's a really long way of saying I got a good deal for a penny. And also I don't miss these things because I never eat them. But when I was about four I remember tasting a bite of somebody's mushroom egg foo young the egg gag me to no end but I loved the MSG beansprout part with the mushrooms and the gravy that was made out of mushrooms they were vegetarian but not vegan. Ever since then I've wanted to make egg foo young so 56 years later I might buy some of that just to make egg foo young once
@@johnferradino Yeah. It's insane some of the deals you get there. You can get stuff like the seitan you find on store shelves for $5, or more, for less than a buck. Fruits and veggies for about half of most stores. Non dairy milks sometimes as cheap as 50 cents. Big containers of hummus for only a buck or two. It makes eating healthy really affordable.
I bought the pre-made patties of JUST egg for a while and had them on thin multi-grain bagels with some natural unsweetened ketchup. Enjoyed it. Ate it probably every day for a month. But the Canola Oil was what got me to go back to oatmeal.
I don’t see the point of getting Just Egg. It’s easy to just make it from scratch from mung bean or chick pea flour. They both work because of the yellow color. We call it paper dosa, which is literally a vegan omelet. Also the ingredients are better than what “Just” puts into it.
JUST egg is bomb! I have it maybe once every couple of months as a loaded veggie omelet or sometimes add it to my favorite vegan fried rice recipe from the Thug Kitchen cookbook.
Just Egg also sells a frozen version that is perfect for a plant based sausage, egg, cheese on an English muffin sandwich, we also add a little plant based mayo..... super good!
"Are you gas-lighting me?" LOL. I definitely know that feeling (read the label, eat the product, tastes so 'normal' have to read the ingredients again! 😁) I am very interested the DIY omelette. Thank you for the info (and thanks for letting me know I can still eat the Just eggs 😁).
@@Silver-Freddy #1 cause of Death in the US = Heart Disease Top causes of Heart Disease = High Blood Pressure/High Blood Cholesterol Top cause of High Blood Pressure = High Cholesterol Where does cholesterol come from? ANIMAL PROTEINS/EXCRETIONS, and ONLY animal proteins/excretions. Eggs are particularly high in cholesterol as this video stated. Imagine thinking that eating excessive amounts of something human bodies already made and are statistically proven not to process external sources very well is healthier than blended plant matter and a couple emulsifiers.
I read about the American Egg Board's panic about this company and laughed my head off. They got into trouble for asking the USDA advice on this. They even joked about putting a hit on the CEO.
I used it in french toast and was so happy to finally have a good french toast. I make homemade bread french toast all the time ( it is a specialty at our restaurant) but I never get to eat it because it has eggs. Now I can!!!
I like the Just Egg product but we found several recipes through RUclips and made our own. Took several tries but we got it. Now from a cost standpoint point, we bought a 4lb bag of organic mung beans for $$21. I cup of mung beans can make about 8-10 omelets depending how big you make them so definitely a huge cost savings making your own. Recipes you find online usually have about 5-6 ingredients so if you’re really concerned your health, make it yourself. My wife makes it so I can’t recall all the ingredients. And to give it a more “eggy” smell/taste, sprinkle black salt.
Wow! I bought this two days ago. Haven't tried it yet. But this video popping up out the blu?? Interesting... hmmm. Are u following me buddy? 🤣 Thanks for the post.
same! saw it on hot for food and went to check the ingredients list and was like mmmmmm need to research them! and here we are with this video that did it for me. still won't try it not a big fan of processed food at all.
I love this product, HOWEVER, i will say.. that the ONLY when I eat this is when my stomach hurts! Every morning I've had it, I've just had stomach pains that whole day.. It is super delicious though!
I like Just Eggs. It skips the chicken torture. It's not Whole Foods though and I feel the difference on my body. I wish it was a returnable bottle. That would be perfect.
Ahi is a fruit eaten like scramble eggs in Jamaica. It looks and tastes just like scramble eggs and it grows on trees, is a fruit product. I was eating it for a week back on vacay in 2002, thinking it was scrambled eggs, until someone told me it wasn’t eggs. I didn’t believe them until i googled it years later.
One of the great things I like about Just egg is that they have an eggy taste, without the sulfury aftertaste regular eggs have. All around, they're just better than regular eggs
Thanks. This seems well investigated, analysed, clearly presented. 👏💐. Yes, why not add B12, good idea. I myself don't see a need for an egg substitute though in my non vegan days I did enjoy omlette occasionally, quiche rarely... but I know people, non vegetarians, with diabetes, blocked artery, hypertension etc. who love eating eggs regularly so for them this would be useful. Shall share at once. One thing I read/heard somewhere (probably from Dr. Klaper): eggs do have hormones too, which like those of dairy can be disruptive. If it is significant I think that should be mentioned: speaking of eggs usually only the saturated fat and cholesterol are mentioned as dangers. Good to see protein, 4gm luceine, discussed. Thanks for another very good video.
you need animal foods to make the vitamin and minerals in plants bio available. That's why every tribe ever has always cooked meat with veg together and why no tribe survives on vegan meals. It's inhumane to think that's fair to your body
my brother is a big time meat eater, he couldn't tell any difference I told them they are real eggs, because if you tell him its vegan then you hear "oh no wonder I don't like it" so I just tell him its the real deal and he says its good. A quiche sounds good though, but I would love to see a mung bean whole foods version I am just transitioning to a vegan lifestyle myself for both ethical and health reasons and ofc mother earth needs our help desperately so i am looking for more whole food approach but didn't know where to start. Glad I found your channel
Look up "Just Egg" like recipes. It uses Mung Bean or Chick Pea flour and Baking powder and onion powder along with Soy milk and a few other spices in order to make a very similar, much healthier alternative. It's great for egg like mixtures.
I would love to hear your take on Brave Robot's no-cow dairy. It's obviously vegan, since no cow was used, but I'm still torn on whether I'd ever want to try it, since my vegan journey has been partially motivated by health.
I like it Mic. I add a little black salt that I mix into a little white jelly (a fungus source of polysaccharides) for a smooth, custardy texture and it keeps the black salt flavor and aroma from vanishing with the application of heat. If you want a perfect omelette, get a brand, new non-stick pan the size of the omelette you desire. Add the black salt and white jelly into the bottle of JUST Egg and shake to combine. Pour it into the pan wiped with a little olive oil. Start cooking on the stovetop at medium high heat and reduce to low heat as the omelette begins to firm up. Cook to your preferred doneness. It'll take about 3 times longer than a traditional omelette, but it's well worth the wait!
a vegan surviving without processed foods? No joke that's not actually possible. You're going to need to scavenge off processed factory foods to survive as a vegan. It's a harsh truth but us meat eaters appreciate you driving down the price of meat.
In India, mung bean and sometimes other lentils are soaked and ground with other ingredients to make a a dish called "chilla" which is like an omelette. You can add many things including black salt (Kala namak) which gives it an eggy smell/taste.
That's probably much healthier though since it's less processed

Comes in plastic. More expensive for less volume and made of processed bs. How is this better or healthier?
Vegans will eat anything as long it says “vegan” on the label.
Haha obviously you didn't even watch the video
Lmao he went into it for 15 minutes with infographics and everything
@@TheRealNykki haha by demonizing saturated fat and cholesterol essential nutrients we need for proper body function ??
Everybody keeps saying it's expensive, yeah it might be a little pricey but it's no more expensive than a death of innocent animal 🌱 xx
I don't know why people are so attached to scrambled eggs. You needed so many eggs just to have a decent amount of food. I make a potato scramble instead with lots of veggies. If I REALLY want an egg taste then I'll add black salt but most times I leave it off.
@@suicune2001 Cause eggs are very nutritious, the longing for the taste is cause you lack those nutrients.
ruclips.net/video/JjnRV-CsBYU/видео.html
@@MistMonkey Uh, no. People are just nostalgic for tastes they grew up with and ate most of their lives. And I ate tons of eggs and I still had B12, D, and omega-3 vitamin deficiencies. I was also 75 pounds overweight and had high cholesterol, which eggs are LOADED with. I'm far healthier after getting rid of them.
@@suicune2001 Not just, eggs are a superfood. I eat 3 - 5 eggs a day and i am far healthier since i made a point to try to eat eggs daily.
I like them because they don't stick to my bowl when I nuck them in a microwave, and it's the first time in eight years I made Pad Thai!
Yes, egg dishes are so easy to clean.
I eat pad Thai in a vegan Thai authentic restaurant all the time with no eggs or just eggs.. they just use tofu!
I made Yeung Man Cooking channel and cooked the Just Egg separately, drizzled it with toasted sesame oil, and added to his pad thai recipe. All the angelic host rejoiced, right there in my happy taste buds
I'd love to see a dupe recipe. How cool would it be if it was in powder form and we could store a decent sized amount in the pantry then add water when we were ready to make some. Wishful thinking...
but seriously. Make it happen.
You can make it at home check out saucestache's recipe ✌🏼
Would be really useful some more videos where you talk about some of the ingredients in processed vegan food (like you went through with JustEgg). I try to make everything myself, but sometimes I buy snacks and there's always a whole list of obscure names - and I never know how safe or okay they are!
I was just talking to my buddy about just egg vrs cloaca’d eggs 🥚 yesterday NOW I can send him this for the win!
I literally started trying this tonight IT’S LIKE YOU KNEW 😳
It's like I JUST knew.
I had some for breakfast 😂
Eggs for breakfast again ❤️
How is it??
@@MictheVegan
Yes my daily dose of cholesterol

It’s weird Just Egg is always in stock where I live, but finding Just Ranch in stock is like finding a unicorn.
And Just Mayo entirely disappeared, which I’m very sorry for, it was fabulous tasting Mayo.
Me: **yawn** Time for bed, I'm exhausted and need a full 8 hours.
**RUclips notifies me that Mic the Vegan has posted another video**
Also me: Time is only a man made concept and I don't abide to it
Eat a “whole just egg bottle” I have to admit I might of done it 😭 Bc a severing side is so small
Same. I don't think I've never used a whole bottle for a meal. But then again I'm trying to gain weight.
I use half the bottle for one omlet
@@marzenawasilewski8075 yea same I use half a bottle each time Bc it’s so little in my opinion the serving size
Have you tried eating real eggs? It's a lot healthier I eat 6 a day
@@MrJavacash I’m vegan on a vegan channel I definitely don’t wanna hear about animal products havent ate it in 6 years but thanks for your suggestion
Another (not so surprising) find I made was just how amazing pairing Just Egg with White Pepper and onion powder is. Hopefully we also get the good one-two punch effect from Tumeric and Pepper.
Dear algorithm, this was a good video I think you should start putting them in people’s recommended and sub boxes
'Somewhat chunkier vegans tend to slam down the oil.' You said it Mic.
Just Egg, turmeric, pepper and nooch is a great combo. I was scared to watch this haha
I've been a lacto vegitarian since the 70's. I just tried Just eggs for the first time and I'm very impressed!!! So thankful for this product and I definitely appreciate this health information. Thank you for delving so deeply into the ingredients!!!
As an avid user of Just Egg, I had been thinking about exactly this subject, but now feel a bit better about it. As he said, whole foods are best. However, when having to cook for a family who are not WFPB, this is a great substitute.
Morning omelettes...
i always feel unhealthy eating it because it's so processed.. better to just stick to whole foods than consume canola oil every morning
I’ve used Just Egg to make frittatas. They’re great! So much like egg it’s incredible!😋😉
I developed an egg allergy when I was a teenager so discovering this product was a dream come true. I've been vegetarian for almost a year now and most of the time stick to vegan everything else too. It's really expanded my enjoyment of cooking. And eating! Great video 😃

@@MrJavacash ah yes, these evil vegetable nutrients
I like JUST Egg, however every year I try and make improvements on my lifestyle. I have been vegan for 20+ years. This year a committed to a more whole foods, clean diet. I have been eliminating processed foods, unnaturally occurring sugar and oils. Some may say that it's bland, impossible or boring. For me , however, it's been pretty easy to come up with foods I love and consume them in the most natural available state. My weight management has been far easier if not an after thought and I feel really good. It has helped improve my depression symptoms as well. I would love to see your take on a more whole foods version of an "egg" recipe . Thank you for all the good info
i haven't watched your videos in over 3 years and just got a notification when i started thinking about getting back on a vegan diet
Edit: was vegan for 2 years and stopped 2 years ago
RUclips is too powerful lol
Come for the health advantages, stay for the animals.
You can do it! Your body will thank you 😊
Welcome home. We missed you!
As the Turkish saying goes, “No matter how far you have gone on the wrong road, turn back.”
Vegan for Animal welfare, WFPB for your own.
JUST Egg + Spinach + Mushrooms + Nutritional Yeast = Mean Omelet
Short answer: No
We bought and enjoyed JUST Eggs gor several years. Then we discovered through YT that we could make our own egg substitute with split yellow mung beans. An overnight soak of the rinsed beans, salt, Tumeric, Kala Namak ( black salt) onion powder and water blended and use for French toast, omelettes, crepes etc. Wonderful and no sneaky ingredients. And SO INEXPENSIVE
Thanks for breaking down these ingredients. I found myself having Just Egg more frequently than I thought I would and kept wondering if it was okay. This gives me more peace of mind, although I know I still need to stick to eating more whole foods.
As someone who's allergic to eggs, Just Egg is an absolute game changer. Tofu scramble is great, but it doesnt come close to the look and texture of real eggs. And the ability to just unscrew the bottle and pour into a pan makes them so much more convenient when making breakfast in the morning.
This video is super informative. I found some on sale and tried them and thought they were EXCELLENT. The best scrambled eggs I've ever had, and no chickens brutalized and tortured. While I knew it was WAY better than real eggs health wise, I feel way more informed about exactly why that's so after this video.
Not EGGcellent? 😆
Black salt as folx have said has some sulfur in it so it will give it a more eggy flavor if people are looking for that.
I’ve always hated eggs, cutting them out was the easiest part of my transition to veganism. To just egg’s credit, I don’t like their product but only because it is too realistic 🤷🏻♀️
that’s how i feel right now !! i just tried it. it’s alright and i’m going to try to eat it to not waste it but i prefer tofu scramble. this tastes way too realistic for me
JUST go Vegan ;)
No

@@EngineersQuest Its not about the persona that particular video just makes a point how silly that particular product is.
@@MistMonkey The product is fine but the price is a problem.
I tried mung bean omelets and it had an off putting flavor for me! Kind of strong. I’m not done experimenting yet though! I finally tried Just Egg recently after trying this mung omelet and it’s very different! You can’t taste the mung really, just barely so they did a good job. It’s good, I just hate plastic packaging.
indeed plastics everywhere 😯🤦♂️
A youtuber I follow made a mung flour omelette saying it was just like eggs. So I got the mung flour and felt the exact same way you did. Off putting flavor that Just Egg doesn't have.
They could easily package it in glass, or even better probably, in a carton.
@@jelatinosa yes please just egg in a carton!!! glass still takes lots of energy to produce (though its of course WAY better than plastic!)
@@jelatinosa glass will cost more but i agree. carton as aseptic milk is held in might be the same as recyclable plastic. maybe a corn-based plastic is better but either way we created more garbage, so best to use sparingly as a treat.
Thanks for your video. I make "egg" bites every week with these... I cook veggies and put them in a silicon muffin baking sheet and then pour the Just Egg on top and bake for snacks I keep in the fridge when I'm hungry... They're easy fast food throughout the week... I'm glad they are pretty healthy.
The most trouble I had with going on a vegan diet 7 years ago....was giving up eggs. Thank you for this video...because I feel so much better about eating just eggs once a week. I love it and I have no negative reactions eating it. I make a veggie omelet with it....and it really scratches an itch!
Thank you for addressing the igf-1 factor in Just Egg, I was concerned about that. Does the same apply to isolated soy protein in mock meat? In that is it negligible enough to ignore? Or what amounts are safe? TIA!
Great video overall. Thanks 💕
I have a local discount foods store called P&R, and got a case of this for $3. Haven't tried it yet.
Score! We got some healthier non dairy dairy things like that for a penny apiece. I thought they had mismarked until finally the person just writes down one and the scent mark because they were trying to do it with decibels and they messed up. But while they were figuring it out with my partner I was filling a box with every single one of everything and so we had milk products creamers, vegan margarine with cold-pressed oil as opposed to heated solvent extracted like regular grease. I got soy yogurts non-GMO in the big gallon I believe they are those big buckets I think I got 50 Penny apiece I also got minimally processed coconut a few were flavored the rest was just non-flavored also a penny apiece so we went out with his massive cart full of stuff for $22 or something and it was added up to what it was at the regular store and it was literally hundreds of dollars for 20 something or way less? my partner is hearing me use voice to text and they're saying it was way less as a penny apiece a hundred items are a dollar so I guess it was just a few bucks for hundreds of items and luckily they lasted for forever we finished it without even trying and nothing went bad. Luckily there's a fridge at the shop so that's my exciting story of getting things for a penny apiece. They had just marked it or we wouldn't have gotten it and I actually got what is the fake cheese? It reminds me of the word violet anyway we got a bunch of that and another brand the other brand had the better melty kinds of cheese but the one that the Violet name had a smoked one that wasn't a chunk and that was tasty! Like you could have put that on toothpicks with cheese eaters and they wouldn't have known that that was a cheese. I myself have never eaten animal products. I was born allergic and by 3 years old. I liked the point at people's plates and say dead chicken dead cow. It was very hard growing up but now I'm 56 and still vegan. The amount of pesticides and herbicides that have been sprayed around here lately, which is illegal around our condo is killing me. I am allergic to all foods right now and everything's infected. That's really disappointing for a person who hasn't had a virus since they were a baby. Anyway that's a really long way of saying I got a good deal for a penny. And also I don't miss these things because I never eat them. But when I was about four I remember tasting a bite of somebody's mushroom egg foo young the egg gag me to no end but I loved the MSG beansprout part with the mushrooms and the gravy that was made out of mushrooms they were vegetarian but not vegan. Ever since then I've wanted to make egg foo young so 56 years later I might buy some of that just to make egg foo young once
hope you enjoy it!
That's awesome. I wish I had access to JUST products
A case for $3!! That's just not fair!
@@johnferradino Yeah. It's insane some of the deals you get there. You can get stuff like the seitan you find on store shelves for $5, or more, for less than a buck. Fruits and veggies for about half of most stores. Non dairy milks sometimes as cheap as 50 cents. Big containers of hummus for only a buck or two. It makes eating healthy really affordable.
I bought the pre-made patties of JUST egg for a while and had them on thin multi-grain bagels with some natural unsweetened ketchup. Enjoyed it. Ate it probably every day for a month. But the Canola Oil was what got me to go back to oatmeal.
I don’t see the point of getting Just Egg. It’s easy to just make it from scratch from mung bean or chick pea flour. They both work because of the yellow color. We call it paper dosa, which is literally a vegan omelet. Also the ingredients are better than what “Just” puts into it.
Any guides on how to make this?
Yes, please share some easy recipes that work with the dhals/lentils...
I've tried this before a few times. I've also used Just Egg. They just aren't the same to me.
There's also a folded egg version of Just Egg, but it's sodium count is much higher at 500mg per serving, and there's 4 servings per container.
JUST egg is bomb! I have it maybe once every couple of months as a loaded veggie omelet or sometimes add it to my favorite vegan fried rice recipe from the Thug Kitchen cookbook.
Just Egg also sells a frozen version that is perfect for a plant based sausage, egg, cheese on an English muffin sandwich, we also add a little plant based mayo..... super good!
"Are you gas-lighting me?" LOL. I definitely know that feeling (read the label, eat the product, tastes so 'normal' have to read the ingredients again! 😁)
I am very interested the DIY omelette. Thank you for the info (and thanks for letting me know I can still eat the Just eggs 😁).
I tried them on a whim and loved them. I buy one bottle per month just to get that egg craving done with. My girls loved them in omelettes.
I really like the Just Egg. Scrambled eggs were a fav of mine (til I knew better)
Til you decided to ruin your body
imagine thinking processed goop is healthier than eggs from free range pastured chickens
@@Silver-Freddy
#1 cause of Death in the US = Heart Disease
Top causes of Heart Disease = High Blood Pressure/High Blood Cholesterol
Top cause of High Blood Pressure = High Cholesterol
Where does cholesterol come from? ANIMAL PROTEINS/EXCRETIONS, and ONLY animal proteins/excretions. Eggs are particularly high in cholesterol as this video stated.
Imagine thinking that eating excessive amounts of something human bodies already made and are statistically proven not to process external sources very well is healthier than blended plant matter and a couple emulsifiers.
Calling something “just egg” that has no egg at all. Welcome to capitalism.
The owners of this company are enjoying a nice piece of meat right now. Earning millions from the brain washed humans 😂
I tried it and it was pretty good. I also make my own with mung beans, rice flour and seasonings and it is just as good for much less money.
Ohhh , I’d like to make that if u don’t mind sharing the recipe 👀
I can't wait for this to be available in my country!
My wife and I love to use just egg in our cooking.
I read about the American Egg Board's panic about this company and laughed my head off. They got into trouble for asking the USDA advice on this. They even joked about putting a hit on the CEO.
Great video. I recently tried this
Finally the confirmation for link between IGF1 and cancer :)
Great video as always Mike, thanks 👍
I would love a DIY recipe that mimics the JUST Egg, but with whole foods. 🙏🙏🙏
I believe Edgy Veg and Cheap, Lazy Vegan have both done this
I used it in french toast and was so happy to finally have a good french toast. I make homemade bread french toast all the time ( it is a specialty at our restaurant) but I never get to eat it because it has eggs. Now I can!!!
Haven't watched the video, so idk, but Just Egg is FREAKING DELICIOUS!! I have never tried eggs that ever tasted as good as those liquid Just Eggs 🤩😍😍
I like the Just Egg product but we found several recipes through RUclips and made our own. Took several tries but we got it. Now from a cost standpoint point, we bought a 4lb bag of organic mung beans for $$21. I cup of mung beans can make about 8-10 omelets depending how big you make them so definitely a huge cost savings making your own.
Recipes you find online usually have about 5-6 ingredients so if you’re really concerned your health, make it yourself. My wife makes it so I can’t recall all the ingredients.
And to give it a more “eggy” smell/taste, sprinkle black salt.
Wow! I bought this two days ago. Haven't tried it yet. But this video popping up out the blu?? Interesting... hmmm. Are u following me buddy? 🤣 Thanks for the post.
same! saw it on hot for food and went to check the ingredients list and was like mmmmmm need to research them! and here we are with this video that did it for me. still won't try it not a big fan of processed food at all.
this kind of thing can be incredibly helpful
Used to like "Just Mayo" but I can't seem to find it anymore.
Same. Disappointing
If you have a Whole Foods store, they should have it
Same ☹️
It was fabulous tasting Mayo, I’m so bummed. Have you found a decent plant based replacement anyone?
Same. The container is too small for me but it's one of the best vegan mayo I've ever had
...” And three chicken eggs straight from the cloaca “.. Lol 😂
I love this product, HOWEVER, i will say.. that the ONLY when I eat this is when my stomach hurts! Every morning I've had it, I've just had stomach pains that whole day.. It is super delicious though!
It could be the transglutaminase not agreeing with you 😕
its not normal to have digestive problems
I like Just Eggs. It skips the chicken torture. It's not Whole Foods though and I feel the difference on my body. I wish it was a returnable bottle. That would be perfect.
Thanks Mic. It would be great if you could do a recreation from the beans to make it more of a whole food dish. Please do it! 🙏
Ahi is a fruit eaten like scramble eggs in Jamaica. It looks and tastes just like scramble eggs and it grows on trees, is a fruit product. I was eating it for a week back on vacay in 2002, thinking it was scrambled eggs, until someone told me it wasn’t eggs. I didn’t believe them until i googled it years later.
One of the great things I like about Just egg is that they have an eggy taste, without the sulfury aftertaste regular eggs have.
All around, they're just better than regular eggs
I agree exactly!
Tofu scramble all day over Just Egg for me. 🤷🏻♂️
Yep yep!
Thanks. This seems well investigated, analysed, clearly presented. 👏💐. Yes, why not add B12, good idea. I myself don't see a need for an egg substitute though in my non vegan days I did enjoy omlette occasionally, quiche rarely... but I know people, non vegetarians, with diabetes, blocked artery, hypertension etc. who love eating eggs regularly so for them this would be useful. Shall share at once.
One thing I read/heard somewhere (probably from Dr. Klaper): eggs do have hormones too, which like those of dairy can be disruptive. If it is significant I think that should be mentioned: speaking of eggs usually only the saturated fat and cholesterol are mentioned as dangers. Good to see protein, 4gm luceine, discussed.
Thanks for another very good video.
you need animal foods to make the vitamin and minerals in plants bio available. That's why every tribe ever has always cooked meat with veg together and why no tribe survives on vegan meals. It's inhumane to think that's fair to your body
lost me when he said canola oil is a healthier fat lmaooooooo

I love your grey-blue eyes. They reflect how healthy you are on this vegan diet.
I was scared to watch this!! 😂😂
my brother is a big time meat eater, he couldn't tell any difference I told them they are real eggs, because if you tell him its vegan then you hear "oh no wonder I don't like it" so I just tell him its the real deal and he says its good. A quiche sounds good though, but I would love to see a mung bean whole foods version I am just transitioning to a vegan lifestyle myself for both ethical and health reasons and ofc mother earth needs our help desperately so i am looking for more whole food approach but didn't know where to start. Glad I found your channel
They are great. I do so much cooking with them. Thanks for the research!
Look up "Just Egg" like recipes. It uses Mung Bean or Chick Pea flour and Baking powder and onion powder along with Soy milk and a few other spices in order to make a very similar, much healthier alternative. It's great for egg like mixtures.
Excited to try this. I feel like this is the new oat milk.
Just Egg comes in a plastic bottle, so...pass. I'm going to learn how to make this chilla!
I would love to hear your take on Brave Robot's no-cow dairy. It's obviously vegan, since no cow was used, but I'm still torn on whether I'd ever want to try it, since my vegan journey has been partially motivated by health.
I like it Mic. I add a little black salt that I mix into a little white jelly (a fungus source of polysaccharides) for a smooth, custardy texture and it keeps the black salt flavor and aroma from vanishing with the application of heat. If you want a perfect omelette, get a brand, new non-stick pan the size of the omelette you desire. Add the black salt and white jelly into the bottle of JUST Egg and shake to combine. Pour it into the pan wiped with a little olive oil. Start cooking on the stovetop at medium high heat and reduce to low heat as the omelette begins to firm up. Cook to your preferred doneness. It'll take about 3 times longer than a traditional omelette, but it's well worth the wait!
I’ve tried just egg but it’s too expensive and I’m trying to not eat so many processed foods.
a vegan surviving without processed foods? No joke that's not actually possible. You're going to need to scavenge off processed factory foods to survive as a vegan. It's a harsh truth but us meat eaters appreciate you driving down the price of meat.
Just Eggs are so yummy. I literally can’t tell the difference in a veggie scramble. Another win for plant based diets
but you can taste the difference when it's not mixed with anything else...
