I've looked everywhere online for the original TVP that I used to buy from ADM's country store in Decatur, IL. In these folks, I finally found it. They're courteous, very friendly and are just good people. They ship quickly and package in ways that make sense. ie: I bought 25lbs. They shipped in 5-5lb. bags instead of one 25lb. bag. I won't be buying from anyone else and I use a lot of this product as I'm primarily vegetarian. If I could give it 10 stars, I would!

Like my title suggests, I've just started to try different alternatives to animal protein. I really liked this product. It was easy to prepare by soaking in water for 15 minutes then frying it up with some spices, tomato, onion and garlic in a bit of olive oil. The texture is close to ground beef though not exactly the same, just a bit softer. I think I like this product the best of the various protein replacements I've tried. My only complaint and it's minor, is that it tastes slightly sweet. Perhaps more experimentation with it and I can figure out how to offset this. In any event I'll be ordering more!

This product is wonderful. We've used quite a few different TVP and this one is by far the best. It's easily digested and the texture is very pleasant. We order many bags and store them in the freezer.

I absolutely love this stuff. Like another said, there is a slightly sweet taste to it. I have gotten around that with sauteed onions and garlic! Of course, I am just beginning to learn how to use the stuff.
The first dish I made with TVP was Minestrone. It was fabulous!
The next dish was Vegan Tacos. This stuff makes the best Sloppy Joes too.
So, if you're an omnivore playing around with the idea of turning vegan, you might want to give TVP a try. Also - Barry Farms shipped my order FAST. I will continue to shop from them.

This product is just wonderful for vegetarian cooking. It stores easily, cooks very quickly and is inexpensive! When I'm ready to use it, I just throw it in to boiling water with tomato and season it - I used it with pasta, make a sour cream sauce to put over about anything to give added body and protein to a meal. It's flavor is quite unobtrusive, so you can season to your own liking.

I stumbled across this by accident and am so glad as this is the only place I have found this and have ordered repeatedly.

This is a good product. I can't buy this locally, so it is nice to be able to try it from Barry Farms. I used it in some chili and in hamburger helper and it turned out very tasty, I can see using this in lots of different recipes. It was also good in dirty rice.

This is good stuff. If you are considering a move towards a more vegetarian diet, this is s good place to start. I have mixed this with ground turkey breast to make burgers
and you can't tell at all, plus it bulks up when it absorbs moisture, so you save money versus buying it wet/frozen.
It also makes very good vegetarian sloppy joes. Just cook your other ingredients separately, and add this at the last minute. Because it's minced, it will cook very quickly just
soaking in the hot sauce.

Full of chemicals, zinc oxide, niacinamide,ferrous sulfate, copper gluconate, vitamin A, Palmirate, calcium pantothenate, and 3 other synthetic vitamins.
Are these all Fortified nutrition? if not what the reason for them.
Label DOESN'T say non GMO. Amazon web page says its non GMO. Have to go with label.
Soy based, Amazon didn't say it was Soy. Soy has been knocked down lately as having too much estrogen.
Use small amounts and infrequently.

If U don't mind soy, and don't care about GMO, It still would loose 2 stars for the chemical crud. Too bad could have been 4 stars.

This company has problems with labeling, out of 6 Items I bought 3 had labeling issues.
