Soy mince, also known as textured vegetable protein (TVP), is a plant-based protein derived from defatted soy flour. It is widely used as a meat alternative in vegetarian and vegan dishes due to its versatile texture and ability to absorb flavors. Originating from the widespread use of soy products in East Asia, soy mince has gained global popularity for its nutritional density and convenience. It is high in protein, low in fat, and contains no cholesterol, making it heart-healthy and suitable for weight management. Rich in essential amino acids, it provides a valuable protein source for plant-based diets. However, some versions may contain added salt or flavorings, so checking labels is important if monitoring sodium intake. Quick to cook and adaptable to sauces and spices, soy mince is commonly used in dishes like chili, pasta sauces, and tacos as a healthy and sustainable substitute for ground meat.
