What, exactly, are TVP granules??


My same question, whats TVP? My first thought is tapioca..chow


I LOVE TVP... I have some in the cabinet that I have been needing to use up... looks like this is the way to EAT IT UP!! YUM!


I'm guessing the V and P stand for Vegetable Protein..but lost on the T...lol..pic looks great!


TVP?


TVP = Textured Vegetable Protein


Sorry, TVP is dry textured vegetable protein or soy crumbles... more info here: http://yummysmells.blogspot.com/2007/11/vegan-comfort-food-messy-janes.html


I love sloppy joes, want to try these, but......where in the heck can I get "TVP"? I guess most whole food grocery stores or maybe trader joes?
Are they pretty high in sodium?


I found TVP at my local Bulk Barn, I know Bob's Red Mill has a brand and I'm sure Whole Foods would have it, usually it's in with the flax sees and stuff like that. As far as sodium goes, it's 361.6 mg per serving. Hope that helps!
