TVP stands for Textured Vegetable Protein. A high fiber, high protein, soy-based meat alternative. Rehydrate with boiling water or stock. It's basically made like pasta....defatted soy flour is mixed with water and pushed through an extruder machine to make shapes.
Granules offer a fantastic and healthy substitute for ground beef. The chunks are great in stews and can be threaded on skewers for the BBQ or browned in a pan. (It's also a great source of protein for dogs, if you make homemade meals for your pooch)
