I love salads, but I have a bad habit of adding unhealthy toppings. That’s why I was so happy when I stumbled upon Hormel Real Bacon Bits. These appeared to be a much healthy option than some of the other toppings I was using. Plus, they weren’t imitation bacon bits, which really taste more like cardboard than anything else. But, would Hormel Real Bacon Bits taste fresh cooked or would they taste like they had been in a jar for several months?
Hormel Real Bacon Bits Review: Taste
I’m pleased to say that this product tastes as if you made it yourself, that very day. They have a delightful salty taste and are just as high of quality as other Hormel products. I also like the fact that Hormel Real Bacon Bits are slightly chewy.
Hormel Real Bacon Bits Review: Variety of Uses
Hormel Real Bacon Bits can be used in so many different ways. I use them when I’m making baked beans, grilled chicken wraps, and of course on salads. But, you can also use them in deviled eggs, scrambled eggs, baked potato skins and even dips. The possibilities are endless.
Hormel Real Bacon Bits are a great way to add flavor without adding too many calories. The package states that Hormel Real Bacon Bits contain 50% less fat that pan-fried bacon. The nutrition facts state that 1 tablespoon contains 25 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat, 5mg of cholesterol, 240mg of sodium, 0 grams of carbohydrates, and 3 grams of protein. You could easily add a couple tablespoons to a salad or wrap and still enjoy a healthy meal.
Hormel Real Bacon Bits come in a 3 ounce container. Now, that may seem very small, but this product is so light that a 3 ounce jar is actually quite large. In fact a 3 ounce container has 12 servings. That seems like a steal with a price of only $1.65.
Hormel Real Bacon Bits Review: Satisfaction Rating
I would have to give Hormel Real Bacon Bits 5 stars. This product is not only a low calorie salad topping, but it can also be used in several different recipes. I also love the fact that this product actually tastes like real bacon. Most other brands taste like they have been in the package for a while. I think Hormel Real Bacon Bits must taste better because they are packaged in a glass container, rather than plastic. Regardless, this is a product you must try if you love bacon.
