Textured Vegetable Protein, 12 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd find this dried textured vegetable protein in the vegetarian/plant-protein or baking aisle, tucked into a pantry of meal-prep staples for vegans, students, and home cooks. It gives a practical, protein-forward and health-minded vibe rather than indulgent or nostalgic. Even with a single listed ingredient (defatted soy flour), the product is industrially transformed to create a chewy, meat-like texture, which signals advanced processing common to ultra-processed formulations.
