Soy Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) is a highly versatile plant-based protein made from defatted soy flour, a byproduct of soybean oil extraction. Originating primarily from Western food processing methods, it has gained global popularity as a meat substitute. TVP is low in fat, high in protein, and an excellent source of dietary fiber, offering essential amino acids crucial for muscle repair and overall health. It’s also enriched with iron and calcium, promoting strong bones and healthy red blood cells. Commonly used in vegan and vegetarian cuisines, TVP works well in dishes like chili, tacos, and stir-fries, mimicking the texture of ground meat. While it offers significant health benefits, it can be highly processed, and some versions may contain added sodium or preservatives. Choosing minimally processed or organic options ensures a healthier choice for those looking to incorporate it into their diet.
