Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) is a highly versatile and nutritious meat substitute made from defatted soy flour, a byproduct of soybean oil production. Popular in vegetarian and vegan diets, TVP gained prominence for its ability to mimic the texture of ground meat when rehydrated. Originally developed in the United States, it is now a staple in cuisines worldwide, especially in recipes like chili, tacos, and stir-fries. TVP is rich in protein, offering a complete amino acid profile, while being low in fat and cholesterol-free. It is also an excellent source of dietary fiber and contains essential minerals such as iron and magnesium. However, processed TVP may contain additives or high sodium levels, so checking labels is recommended. Gluten-free and highly adaptable, TVP is ideal for those seeking eco-friendly, plant-based alternatives without compromising on nutrition or flavor.
