Textured vegetable protein (TVP), also known as textured soy protein (TSP), is a versatile and inexpensive meat substitute made from defatted soy flour. It is processed to create a porous, spongy texture. In its dry form, TVP has a light tan color. When hydrated, it plumps up and can absorb flavors well. Because of its mild, slightly nutty flavor, TVP readily takes on the flavors of sauces and seasonings it's cooked with. It is a common ingredient for vegetarian and vegan meals seeking a protein-rich alternative to meat.

Textured vegetable protein (TVP) is best stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Properly stored, it can last for up to a year or even longer. Once rehydrated, TVP should be treated like cooked meat and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze rehydrated TVP for longer storage.
