Guest guest Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 Hi everyone! If you want to avoid GMO (genetically modified) soy, the type of TVP to get is Organic "TSP" (Texturized Soy Protein). It can be found at most health food stores and through co-ops such as Azure Standard in the Pacific Northwest. It looks alot like bacon bits and can be used in its dry form for sprinkling on salads and such. It doesn't have smoke flavoring though and needs to take much of it's flavor from the sauces or other ingredients it's cooked with. The granules can be added to most any soup, chili or "wet" dish easily. You can also reconstitute the dry form by putting 1 cup of TSP with 7/8 cup hot water and let it sit about 5 minutes...then it can be used anywhere ground beef is called for. Because it doesn't have much fat of it's own, though, you would have to add some oil for some recipes. Dry TSP is generally cheaper than the "crumbles" or tubes of recipe-ready TVP. ~Nita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
