Soya granules, also known as textured vegetable protein (TVP), are a versatile and inexpensive plant-based protein source. These dried granules have a light, spongy texture when dry, and they readily absorb flavors when rehydrated. Typically light tan or beige in color, soya granules offer a mild, slightly nutty flavor, making them adaptable to a wide range of dishes. Their ability to mimic the texture of ground meat makes them a popular choice for vegetarian and vegan cooking, and they are often used as a meat extender or substitute in various recipes.

Soya granules should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. This helps prevent moisture absorption, which can lead to spoilage or mold growth. Properly stored soya granules can last for up to a year. Check the 'best by' date on the package for optimal freshness. Once hydrated, use immediately or store in the refrigerator for no more than 2-3 days.
