About Soyachunks

Soyachunks, also known as soy meat or textured vegetable protein (TVP), are a plant-based protein made from defatted soy flour, a by-product of soybean oil extraction. Often used in Indian, Asian, and global vegetarian cuisines, they are a versatile meat substitute that absorbs flavors well when cooked in curries, stir-fries, or soups. Packed with protein, fiber, and essential amino acids, they are an excellent option for vegetarians, vegans, and fitness enthusiasts. Low in fat and cholesterol-free, soyachunks support heart health and are rich in iron and calcium. However, they can be highly processed and contain anti-nutrients like phytic acid, which may hinder mineral absorption. Additionally, overconsumption of soy products may impact hormone balance due to their phytoestrogen content. Moderation and a balanced diet are key to reaping their nutritional benefits. Soyachunks are a healthy, cost-effective choice for adding protein variety to meals.
