Textured Vegetable Protein

Textured Vegetable Protein

EverydayDry

Textured vegetable protein (TVP) is a processed soy product used as a meat substitute, particularly in vegetarian and vegan dishes. It is made by extruding soy flour into various shapes and sizes, then drying it to create a shelf-stable product. TVP is typically rehydrated before use, absorbing flavors from sauces and seasonings, and it provides a good source of plant-based protein and fiber while remaining low in fat.
