Texturized Vegetable Protein and the Vegan Diet

Texturized Vegetable Protein (TVP) is a processed soy product made by extracting soybean oil and using the remaining defatted soy flour. It is then cooked under pressure and extruded to form a texture similar to ground meat. TVP is often used as a meat substitute in various dishes due to its high protein content and ability to absorb flavors. It is available in flakes, chunks, or granules and can be rehydrated with water or broth before use.
