Textured Vegetable Protein
  
 
Textured Vegetable Protein, a food product made from soybeans, has a long shelf life (at least 1 year when stored properly) and serves as a food source for many public school breakfast and lunch programs as a meat extender. Textured Vegetable Protein is economical, an excellent source of fiber, and nutritional. The oil is removed from the bean and ground into a flour which can be formed into different shapes and textures and fortified to meet specific nutritional requirements. One ounce of Textured Vegetable Protein (when hydrated) is equivalent to approximately 3 ounces of meat. Most "bacon' bits used for salads and potatoes are made of Textured Vegetable Protein. Many 'vegetarian' burger, hot dog, chili, or sausage products use Textured Vegetable Protein as the meat substitute. Textured Vegetable Protein also makes a perfect meat substitute for soups. Other popular uses for Textured Vegetable Protein include pizza toppings and taco meat.
