Use of "Textured Vegetable/Soy Protein" in recipes?


buddyspal

Recommended Posts

I notice quite a few "vegan" recipes here.   I am vegetarian.  I am wondering if any of you use, or have tried using, "Textured Vegetable Protein" (TVP) or "Textured Soy Protein" in your recipes.  Does it cause any of the stomach pain, or other side effects, associated with celiac?  These proteins, as I understand it, are produced much the same way that gluten is, so I'm leery of using them.  

 

Any suggestions for alternatives to TVP or TSP will be greatly appreciated. 

 

I just started making my own veggie burgers and merely leave out TVP or TSP.  But, I want to make breakfast and Italian "sausage" and can not think of an alternative as a base.  Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

 

Thank you for any sharing of experiences and help.

Jack Fruit, has the same texture as meat. Use Naked Jackfruit for a roast texture extra tender, Upton has a tough meat texture. Grind it up for homemade sausage in a meat grinder, you can texture it a bit with ground flax seed, cumin adds a meaty flavor.  I use the stuff all the time in my recipes I currently have huge batches of various flavors in my freezer where I make it 2lbs at a time. As for actual protein I use protein shakes via various brands on the side, nuts, seeds, and the only animal product that does not bother me egg whites.

Rough chopped the naked brand can be seasoned with chili powder and cumin and used in vegan burritos and talmales, Mixed with BBQ sauce it is a EXACT match full pulled pork/roast.

Wow!  That sounds promising!  I'll look in to it.  Thank you so much!  :)

An aside, but "Textured Vegetable Protein" is no longer allowed in ingredient lists in Canada. The vegetable must be specifically named.

Hmmm, interesting.  That's a good policy!

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
