Comment on YSK tricks for one of the cheapest meals: beans and rice
AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 23 hours agoTextured Vegetable Protein. It’s basically soy that’s been processed in a way that results in a granular product that’s mostly protein, and has a somewhat similar texture to ground meats.
Personally I prefer Soy Curls because those are made from whole beans and still have their fiber, but tvp can be a great choice for people with especially high protein needs like strength trainers.

I’ve wanted to try that but couldn’t find it at the grocery stores I’ve tried.

In my experience, they’re usually kept in the same section as baking goods. You know that shelf that usually just has a bunch of Bob’s Red Mill products? If your grocery store carries tvp, it’s probably there.

No, but I don’t really spend much time in the baking stuff so if that’s where it was I’d have missed it. I’ll check it out. Thanks.
