Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP), 1 lb. Bag, Natural Plant Based Vegan Protein Chunks, Non-GMO and Gluten Free Crumbles, Cholesterol Free by Amazing Chiles

I use veggie protein crumbles for all kinds of recipes and These are Great. No flavor, so you can add whatever you want them to taste like. They're pretty spongey, which some people may not like, but for me they're perfect. I think their value is great and just add liquid to get them to expand. I add chicken bouillon and spices, depending on how I want them to taste.

The soy curls are very easy to rehydrate and once rehydrated they take on the flavor of whatever broth you used.

I use the TVP crumbles whenever I'm cooking up a pot of beans. Regardless if they be Pinto, little red, kidney, navy bean, etc. I add a cup or two of the crumbles depending on the quantity of beans an hour or two before the beans are done. The crumbles will swell and soften and take on the flavor of the beans being cooked. I've been a vegetarian for many years and there crumbles provide me the protein I need due to the lack of meat in my diet. I use them as a meat substitute in other recipes as well. Maybe not a choice for a Texas cattleman but a healthy alternative for those who prefer a meatless diet.

I bought this food as emergency stock and am ok with its look and packaging so far.

If you're vegan or just trying to eat less meat, these are great for a ground beef substitute. Not right out of the bag, but after soaking, squeezing out excess water and seasoning. They're great for tacos, or for adding to a veggie meal for extra protein.

Value for money was great. Perfect size tvp for anything you want to make. The protein content is 9 grams. Easy to use.

This works great for chili, sloppy Joe's, and spaghetti, soups, etc. Most people are surprised when I tell them it's vegetarian.

Nutritious and easy to use.
