TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein)

TVP in the Kitchen

A dehydrated, high-protein soy product made from defatted soy flour, commonly used as a replacement for ground meat in sauces, chili, and tacos.

Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) is a dehydrated soy product made from defatted soy flour. It is a highly convenient, shelf-stable source of plant-based protein.

When rehydrated with water or broth, it takes on the texture of ground meat. It is perfect for tacos, chili, spaghetti bolognese, or shepherd’s pie. Its affordability and protein density make it a favorite for many plant-based meal preppers.
