Textured Vegetable Protein Rehydration Prep
Textured vegetable protein rehydration prep uses hot seasoned broth to revive soy TVP for high-protein vegan chili and tacos—balance with fats on the plate.
Textured vegetable protein rehydration prep revives dry TVP granules or chunks with hot broth—not plain water—for savory chili, tacos, and pasta sauces. Soy-based TVP is complete protein but very low fat; balance plates with olive oil, avocado, or seeds.
Hydrate one to one by weight with seasoned liquid, then drain excess if mushy. Unflavored TVP needs spice; start with small batches.
Allergic to soy must skip TVP entirely.
