I discovered that my childhood intolerance to tomato developed into a full blown allergy. I LOVE all things tomato. This incredible substitute looks, smells, and tastes like real Texas Style Chili! In my quest for suitable alternatives to the death apple, I found that many people cannot have tomato...be it because of an aforementioned allergy, or medications, health conditions, or general preference, this is a great option. Everyone that has tried it so far swears this HAS to have tomato! I this this might be another great way to get kids to eat a more veggies and not even know. BONUS!
