Bob's Red Mill TVP, 12oz (Pack of 4) - Vegan, Made in USA, Unflavored, Kosher

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.

Bob's Red Mill TVP is an absolute must-have for any vegan kitchen, offering incredible versatility and quality in this convenient 4-pack! The unflavored, high-protein texture makes it perfect for countless recipes, from tacos to chili, and its kosher, USA-made certification ensures top-notch reliability.

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!

Due to a family member contracting Alpha-Gal, we've had to make some eating habit adjustments (Or as they've said, they were forced to go vegan..lol) So far this is the best shelf stable TVP we've tried. Tasting it dry out of the bag, it's very reminiscent of Grape-Nuts. Cooking-wise, this is some pretty good stuff with a decent protein macro. It's also relatively filling. Once cooked, it's very hamburger like in how it chews or it's mouth feel. Great for tacos and sloppy joes. While it doesn't quite taste like meat, it really is a good meat substitute.

Bob’s TvP is the one I always go to when I want to make a meat type of sauce. The taste and consistency are good. The only problem is there are a lot of really small crumbles pieces in there that go right through the smallest holes in the strainer so a lot of it does go down the drain, but it’s still much less expensive than other companies texture, vegetable protein

This has a light taste, almost nutty. It takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it in. I sometimes I eat it straight, as a snack. It's very crunchy, and provides high quality protein. I've also added it to oatmeal, with extra water, to up the nutrition. It has a chewy texture when liquid is added, so you can use it in soups or chili's as you would use chicken.

Really great as a ground beef replacement— I use this for chili, tacos, spaghetti sauce, whatever. It’s a great fat free, high protein ingredient.

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

Used it in a chili,,,husband couldn’t tell that is wasn’t meat

Super bon remplacement de viande hachée.
