5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for October 28, 2010
By LDS
Amazon Verified Purchase
I have been searching for a TVP product for a while now and when I saw Bob's Red Mill TVP on the net I looked for it at Amazon and there it was. I hadn't used it in years, so it was a new learning experience and I got an acceptable burger on my first try, but not quite what I was looking for. With a lot more research on the net I discovered that a mixture of TVP and Vital Wheat Gluten, also from Bob's Red Mill and available at Amazon, will give you a much meatier burger. There are several websites that can help you, one is Vegan Dad, which can give you a recipe that will help you find a better burger that isn't so mushy as TVP can be, also check out Thrifty Living. If you are trying TVP for the first time, don't give up on it. Go out to You Tube and type in TVP burger recipes and see what you can find. Also check out Everyday Dish on You Tube. It is a learning experience for sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Way to Stretch Budget, Improve Health March 17, 2011
Although I've been a vegetarian and even vegan at times in my life, currently I'm not. I was so happy to find this great price on Bob's Red Mill TVP. It's less than half of what I'd pay at my local grocery store--and only one of the stores in my area regularly even carries it.

If you worry about both health and price, TVP is a great addition to your diet. I use it in conjunction with ground beef. I rehydrate it using beef stock, and then add it to my ground beef. If you're new to TVP, I'd start with rehydrating 1/4 to 1/2 cup and adding it to one pound of beef. You can go up to a 50/50 blend--and most people will not be able to tell the difference, especially in things like chili and meatballs. My kids and husband have no idea. :)

If you buy the 80/20 ground beef--by mixing it with no-fat, high protein, high fiber TVP, you will halve the fat you eat per serving. Because it doubles the amount of beef you get, you can also use this as a way to buy free-range or lower fat meat for your family. Although $4 or $5/pound is a lot for many families--by cutting it with TVP, your true cost is $2-$2.50. Much more affordable.

I really recommend giving it a try. You can buy one cup at the bulk foods section of many health food stores to give it a try. Definitely hydrate it with beef stock for added flavor. If your family likes it, then buy it on Amazon. Good luck!

5.0 out of 5 stars A nice introduction to TVP August 1, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
This is my first time using tvp. Tvp is really easy to prepare and inexpensive when compared to ground meat. To me, it doesn't taste like meat, but it has the same texture in my mouth, just not that greasy flavor. It works well in recipes too. A much healthier alternative to ground beef. We love this stuff. Each bag has about 2 cups dried tvp, which will make a couple of meals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Product
It's good to find this on Amazon. The shops around here that carry Bob's Red Mill products seldom have TVP. The secret to using TVP is soaking it in a flavored liquid. Read more

Made "chile" from the recipe on bag. Fair result, not a vegetarian, but trying new things out. No big deal.

TVP is an easy inexpensive protein source. Because it doesn't have much flavor of its own, it's easy to add to most anything. Read more
