textured soy protein (TSP)

Textured soy protein (TSP), also known as textured vegetable protein (TVP), is a plant-based, high-protein meat substitute made from defatted soy flour. It is created by processing soy flour into different shapes like granules, chunks, or flakes, which can be rehydrated to have a meat-like texture. Because TSP absorbs flavors well and is often sold dry, it is widely used in vegetarian and vegan dishes or as a meat extender in products like burgers and chili
