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

Tvp small assorted pieces, good plant based option to replace regular meat or boost protein in recipes. These take on the flavor of whatever you’re cooking. Just like with most plant based meat substitutes the texture is not going to be the same as meat so if that is your expectation you may be disappointed. I used in recipes as a substitute for chicken and add vegetable better than bouillon for extra flavor.

Non-GMO, neutral flavor, and incredibly versatile. I was buying another soy product from Amazon, that I really liked, but it was much more expensive. I decided to try this one and I’m very happy I did. I use a quarter cup per serving and it rehydrates perfectly in boiling water in five minutes. I typically drain it, and sauté it in a tiny bit of olive oil for a few minutes until all the TVP pieces are browned. It’s wonderful in in anything which you would want to vegan protein. These can include chili, stir fries, Italian dishes, soups, and any hearty stew. The texture is wonderfully chewy, but not too chewy. Very satisfying.

Easy prep. Just like Soy Curls, just in smaller pieces. Perfect for soups, wraps, tacos, spaghetti, etc.

This was very good tvp. The flavor was mild like soy curls, basically flavorless, which I prefer to flavored brands of tvp. I especially like the size of these -- small enough to be used as a ground beef substitute in chili, but still big enough to sub for satisfying chicken bits in chick'n veggie soup, without being large strips or chunks like soy curls. Not the most affordable tvp, which is why I gave only 4 stars. Until I can find a cheaper alternative, I'll be using these regularly.

I don’t understand the negative reviews. I’ve been a vegetarian for 30 years and know how bad imitation meat can be, but this stuff isn’t bad. It has good texture and takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it with. Maybe they aren’t following the instructions.

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.

It’s fine

Vraiment plus petit que je pensais. Je ne suis pas familière avec ce type de protéines bien que je suis végétarienne depuis 12 ans. Je vais davantage explorer les façons possibles de cuisiner! Cependant, je trouve cela tout de même très cher pour la quantité.

Disappointed...crumbs, not chunks; no instructions on bag nor website. I'll prepare the way I do with my soy curls. Won't buy again.
