      I used to feel the same way, then I learned you can boil it in veggie or vegan chicken broth to mellow out the flavor and add a nice savoriness. Total game changer!

        It has an earthy flavor from the fermentation process, and a somewhat crumbly texture from the whole soybeans. Like tofu, the flavor is mild and adapts to the cuisine you cook it in. I boil it in vegan broth before cooking to mellow the earthy flavor and incorporate more savoriness.
