you can get it at Whole Foods and other places. There is one brand I buy that has 3 different types: spicy, regular and apple. Really very good, easy to cook (just brown it in a pan with a little oil) and you can have it for breakfast with eggs or pancakes, make a sandwich with it for lunch, and/or put it on homemade pizza, in stir fries or in pasta sauce for dinner.

Unfortunately, I can't remember the brand and I'm away from home and a nearby Whole Foods for awhile.
