Is Soyrizo healthy than chorizo?
Chef's answer
Soyrizo is one of those exceptionally rare soy-based food products that actually tastes better than the real thing -- not exactly the same, but that's why I like it. Missing is the neon-colored grease, the fat and the cholesterol (and, yes, a hint of meatiness). Soyrizo also has 60 percent fewer calories than chorizo..
