Textured Vegetable Protein is made from soybeans and is ideal for use as a meat extender or gluten free vegetarian meat substitute in virtually any recipe calling for ground beef or turkey.
Textured Vegetable Protein is a highly nutritious soy product. It's rich in complete protein and contains no fat, so it is an excellent alternative to meat. TVP is made from defatted soy flour that has been cooked under pressure and then dried. TVP is naturally gluten free and is handled and packaged in a separate, dedicated gluten free facility. It is routinely tested for cross contamination using R5 ELISA testing protocol to ensure its gluten free status.
Although TVP doesn't add much flavour, it's low in fat and calories, contains a wealth of complete soy protein and it's a good source of dietary fiber. Soy contains complete protein with all the amino acids essential to human nutrition, which must be supplied in the diet because they cannot be synthesized by the human body. It is also a good source of iron, magnesium and phosphorus.
