Textured Vegetarian Protein (TVP) is a high-protein meat alternative made from defatted soy flour, a byproduct of soybean oil production. Originating from innovations in plant-based food, TVP is a versatile ingredient commonly used in vegetarian and vegan cuisines worldwide. Its neutral flavor and ability to absorb seasonings make it ideal for dishes like chili, tacos, stir-fries, and meatloaf. TVP is prized for its high protein content, low fat, and cholesterol-free profile, making it a heart-healthy option compared to animal proteins. It is also rich in iron and provides a good source of dietary fiber. However, it is a processed food and may contain added preservatives or sodium, depending on the brand. Some individuals with soy allergies may need to avoid TVP. When balanced with whole foods, it can be a valuable component of a plant-based diet.
