Crave Textured Vegetable Protein, 2.2 lb Bag – Vegan, Gluten Free, High-Protein Chunks, Unflavored

Crave Textured Vegetable Protein TVP is a versatile plant-based ingredient crafted from soy that offers a reliable, meat-like bite when cooked. Packaged in a 2.2 lb bag, this unflavored option is gluten free and vegan by design, giving you a blank canvas to build flavors your way. Its texture starts dry and crumbly, then becomes plump and chewy as it absorbs liquids and sauces, making it a practical addition to a busy pantry.

• Chili, spaghetti sauces, and baked pasta dishes that soak up richness
• Stir fries, crumbles, and skillet meals that call for a quick protein boost
• Stuffed peppers, casseroles, and grain bowls for weeknight meals
