Premium Organic TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein)

Made from soy flour, our Organic TVP, otherwise known as Textured Vegetable Protein, or Soya chunks, is a great alternative to meat and is a fantastic source of protein, making it popular among vegetarians and vegans. TVP’s versatility and ground beef texture means it can be used in many different dishes, including tacos, meatballs, spaghetti bolognese and burgers, just to name a few.

Textured vegetable protein is easy to cook with and fits into many dishes, so is a handy product to have in the kitchen for the days where you don’t feel like eating meat. Plus, because TVP can be stored in your cupboard, it is a great staple to have lying about when you can’t quite be bothered to go to the shops!

Please note: If you are trying to make the switch to a meat-free diet, try some of our lentils, which can be substituted for meat.

Textured vegetable protein isn’t just for vegans. It’s a versatile, cupboard-friendly meat substitute perfect for everyone’s meals. Also, textured soy protein is low in calories, fat, and carbs, versatile in recipes, and has a long shelf life when dried.

Cooking Instructions

Before cooking, TVP needs to be rehydrated and reconstituted before it can be used. To do this, use either vegetable broth/stock or hot water, though if you are making a recipe that would normally use beef, you can use beef style vegan stock instead to boost the flavour.

Because TVP doesn’t have much flavour of its own, it is the perfect vehicle for any flavour you wish to add to it!

If the recipe you are making already contains a lot of liquid, such as stews or chillis, you can just add our TVP straight in and it will soak up liquid whilst cooking.
