Yes, it's vegan.

We decided test Pulled Oats, and see if this trendy Finnish food item really is ready to take over the USA.Matt grew up in Austin, Texas. It shows in our dinner table in a way that we eat Tex-Mex at least once or twice a week. Texas BBQ however is something we might cook only once a year, usually on 4th of July, but we haven't even owned a BBQ grill for a few years. We decided to mix Finnish ingredients, Pulled Oats, and make a vegan dish that even Texans might go for. We mixed the Pulled Oats with Orange Ginger Coleslaw and baked sweet potato with a crème fraiche sauce. It’s juicy and spice-loving texture is perfect for frying, and it’s the perfect ingredient for all the meals you love. Pulled Oats® are all vegan and pack more muscle-building protein than any (yup, any!) meat product on the planet. It’s good for you, good for “foodkind,” and good for the whole world.The real kicker here: this is a vegan dish. Hellmann's makes a vegan mayo (for the coleslaw), Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce is vegan, and Oatly makes a vegan crème fraiche.The verdict: it does not replace Texas BBQ pulled pork sandwich, but since we don't eat that much meat anymore anyways, we don't make pulled pork sandwiches anymore at all. So to have this kind of a substitute - brilliant.
