Did you know that TVP is made from soy flour?

Since it has a very long shelf life, it can easily be used to add protein to your meal. As an added bonus, it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes. You can grind it to add it to a muffin recipe, add it directly to yogurt, or even rehydrate it to easily replace meat. To rehydrate, simply add 210 ml of boiling water or broth to 1 cup of TVP, stir, then let stand for 5-10 minutes. Happy cooking!
