High fibre, high protein meat substitute made from soy flour.  It can be used in place of meat and also to bulk out meat in a dish. It works well in dishes such as vegetarian casseroles, soups, stew, and chili. TVP (textured vegetable protein) absorbs spices and flavorings well, much like tofu, so it is an extremely versatile vegan and vegetarian grocery staple. TVP needs to be reconstituted in hot water or broth for about 10 minutes or more in the cooking process. Most recipes include this step, so no stress there. It cooks quickly and can add a great source of cheap and low-fat protein to many dishes. For liquidy dishes such as soups, stews, and pasta sauces, you can add 1/2 cup of dry TVP and let it rehydrate while it simmers.
