About Textured soy protein

Textured soy protein is a processed soy ingredient made by texturizing soy material, commonly through extrusion. It is often sold dry as granules, crumbles, or larger pieces, with a porous, chewy texture after hydration and a relatively mild flavour.

It is used as a plant-based ingredient in dishes where a ground or chunk-like texture is wanted. Dry products are commonly rehydrated before use. Formulations vary: some are made from defatted soy flour, while others use soy protein concentrates or include additional ingredients.
