Soya chunks, also known as textured vegetable protein (TVP) or soy protein chunks, are a versatile and affordable plant-based protein source. These dehydrated, spongy pieces are made from defatted soy flour and have a mild, slightly nutty flavor that readily absorbs the flavors of sauces and seasonings they are cooked in. When rehydrated, soya chunks develop a chewy, meat-like texture, making them a popular meat substitute for vegetarians and vegans. They come in various sizes and shapes, typically ranging from small granules to larger chunks, appearing light brown or beige in their dry state. Soya chunks are a great way to add protein to vegetarian meals.

Store soya chunks in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Properly stored, they can last for up to 12 months. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent pest infestation and maintain freshness. Cooked soya chunks should be refrigerated immediately in an airtight container and consumed within 3-4 days.
