Bob's Red Mill TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) - 12 Ounce (Pack of 1), Gluten Free, Vegan, Made in USA, Unflavored

Very good to replacement of meat. Jeeps you full for the most part. Taste great and the texture is good as well.

I'm not a vegetarian. However, the shelf-life (indefinite), nutrition (complete protein), macros (0 fat, 9 carb, 4 fiber, and 13 protein), ease of preparation (add boiling water for 5 mins and fry, or toss it in a stew), neutral flavor (it just soaks up whatever you toss it with), and extremely reasonable price (it's a pack of 4 for ~5k calories for <20 dollars) all combine to make TVP the most optimized singular food product I've ever seen in my life. Add in the fact it's sustainable and vegetarian as just a bonus. This might not be the only brand out there, but it delivered exactly what I hoped it would, and frankly, I didn't read the description carefully and got *more* than I expected. Which was great, it's what caused me to come to write this review. 5 stars.

If you haven’t tried TVP before, it gives plant-based foods the texture of ground meat. It’s delicious and has a a lot of protein. It’s great for making chili!

I heard about TVP and wanted to try it. I’m a fan of Bob’s brand for other things so I tried this. First recipe I made was vegan meatballs. Turned out great! Seems like a great way to avoid premade vegan meat replacements with your own homemade versions. I’ve got a meatloaf in the oven now. 🤞 The texture seems ok, it’s like a taco meat size of bits, maybe a little larger. I’m surprised at the protein content and the low calories.

Good product to extend ground beef. I mix it with the recommended hot water or broth, then mix well with ground beef, cook the beef with chopped onions in a large electric skillet, let it cool then package it with my vacuum sealer in one meal amounts. You add protein with no added fat to dinners like chili, spaghetti sauce, goulash, vegetable soup, etc. just toss chunk of frozen beef into crock pot with sauces, beans or vegetables and dinner is ready that night. Very easy and convenient if you need inexperienced cook to help with cooking a meal.

Good stable to have on hand, can be substituted for most ground meats or meat substitutes. Cook in broth for added flavor

This stuff is great. Use it to stretch a meal or just add some veggie protein to your plate. We use it basically anywhere you might use ground beef or turkey. It’s great in tacos. And it stores nicely on the shelf for emergency supplies and just saving a trip to the store. Great product and great brand.

Absolutely a pantry staple for my family! I steer away from red meat as much as I can & use this tvp for recipes calling for ground beef. Excellent in sloppy joes, tacos, (hamburger style) hot dishes, soups & much more! I've tried several brands and Bob's Red Mill is the best for texture, ease of cooking & taste. I love this product & recommend completely!

I use for making all kind of dishes

Extends ground beef considerably and tastes pretty good. Also is lower in fat and calories than ground beef. Decent product in soup and chilis.

Love this product. Use it in a lot of my recipes as a meat substitute or combined wit meat as a stretcher to a meat meal

If made with beef broth and spiced for your recipie you can not tell it isn’t ground beef. Excellent in tacos, spaghetti

as described arrived quickly
