Textured Vegetable Protein Plain Mince (TVP Mince)

Description

TVP Mince

What are Soya Pieces, Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)?

Our TVP Mince, also known as soya mince, is made from defatted soya flour, which is naturally high in protein. It’s textured into small 2–5mm granules and dried, so it keeps in the cupboard until you need it. Once rehydrated it expands by 150–200% and has a texture just like minced meat, making it a popular vegan and vegetarian alternative in bolognese, chilli, lasagne and cottage pie.

 

How to Use Soya Pieces, Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)

(Slices, Chunks and Mince)

Firstly, you need to re-hydrate the soya.

Method 1: Add the required amount of tvp to a pan, (remembering the tvp will swell by 150-200%), cover well with water and bring to the boil, (make sure the tvp has sufficient water to absorb), allow the tvp to boil for 4-5 minutes, until they expand and soften. Once they have expanded and softened strain off any excess hot water and run under cold water to cool the tvp so it can be squeezed gently by hand or placed in a food strainer and pressed lightly like a sponge to remove the excess water.

 

Method 2: Add the required amount of tvp to a bowl and cover well with freshly boiled water, (make sure the tvp has sufficient hot water to absorb), cover and leave to stand for 20 minutes, until they expand and soften. Once they have expanded and softened strain off any excess water and run under cold water to cool the tvp so it can be squeezed gently by hand or placed in a food strainer and pressed lightly like a sponge to remove the excess water.

 

Method 3: Tvp can be added directly into a recipe which has a lot of liquid, i.e., Stews, Chilli Con Carne, Bolognaise and Curry Sauces, so the tvp can soak up the delicious flavours and juices.
