About Textured soy protein

Textured Soy Protein (TSP), also known as textured vegetable protein (TVP), is a plant-based protein made from soy flour. Originating from the United States as a meat substitute, this versatile ingredient is widely used in vegetarian and vegan cuisine. TSP is produced by extracting the fat from soy flour and shaping it into granules, flakes, or chunks that can be rehydrated with water or broth. High in protein and fiber, it is low in fat and cholesterol-free, making it a heart-healthy option. It serves as an excellent alternative to meat in dishes like chili, tacos, and stir-fries. However, TSP is a processed food and may contain additives or flavorings depending on the brand, so it’s important to check labels. For those seeking a protein-rich, affordable, and sustainable ingredient, textured soy protein is a convenient choice with a mild taste that absorbs flavors well.
