About Tvp
Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) is a versatile plant-based protein made from defatted soy flour, a byproduct of soybean oil extraction. Often used in vegetarian and vegan cooking, TVP is praised for its ability to mimic meat textures, making it a popular choice for dishes like chili, tacos, and stir-fries. Originating from the innovation of soy processing, TVP has global culinary applications, particularly in Western and Asian cuisines. Nutritionally, TVP is high in protein, low in fat, and cholesterol-free, making it a heart-healthy alternative to meat. It's also a good source of dietary fiber and essential amino acids. However, it may contain added sodium or flavoring agents, depending on the brand, so reading labels is recommended. TVP is minimally processed but often considered less nutrient-dense than whole soy products like tofu or edamame. It's an economical and convenient way to enhance protein intake.
