TVP is actually quite versatile and lends itself very well to a vegan diet. You can buy it in granules or slightly larger chunks, and use where you would use meat in recipes. I have successfully used it in: stuffed cabbage, stuffed peppers, spaghetti "meat" sauce, mousakka, tacos, sloppy joes and "meat"loaf...

I will admit, it is a bit processed, so I don't eat it everyday. But, it does make a very satisfying alternative to meat without using some of the name brand fake meats, some of which do contain egg & dairy products.

Some stores, like Whole Foods Market, sell a reasonably sized bag of TVP by "Bob's Red Mill", and it is $2.49 in my area, and one bag feeds my family of five two or three meals.

never heard of that stuff but have u ever used boca or morning star products?

In order for it to taste decent, you need to heat it with a significant amount of fat.

It is good, but as above person said, plenty of fat to make it platable.
