What is "textured vegetable protein"?
Textured vegetable protein (TVP) refers to a plant-based protein product derived from soybeans or other plant sources. It is created by processing the proteins to produce a textured and fibrous structure, resembling the texture of meat. TVP is often used as a meat substitute in vegetarian and vegan dishes due to its versatility and high protein content. It absorbs flavors well and can be rehydrated and seasoned to mimic the taste and texture of various meat products. TVP is a popular ingredient in plant-based recipes such as vegetarian chili, meatless burgers, and vegan sausage.
