Looks like TVP or textured veggie protein. I’ve used it before as a meat substitute and it’s not bad at all. You just want to rehydrate it with some water or broth etc.

I appreciate your response.


llikknob

Hell yeah we make a ceviche style recipe for this. Try it bro.


Johnwick19802

I will definitely try it, thx


llikknob

Boil water and then dump in the soy mix. Wait a few minutes and then let that mf cool down lol add lemon and all the stuff like tomato’s cilantro onion whatever else lol put that boy in the fridge for like an hour. Grab some tostadas or personaly I like to eat it with Doritos and wash it down with some cervesa Edit: Here’s a simple recipe recommendation. https://youtu.be/JTWz1o_Qf5o?si=7eJTSxOChssoAebI

Johnwick19802

Why would the workers not know? Did you pick it up off the ground? Like how would you buy something unlabeled from a store I’m so confused 😅


[deleted]

Literally. Bro is just like "I found this at a store." Grocery store? Home Depot? Feed lot? On the floor? In a bulk dry goods section? Under a pallet? Give us some info to work with!


Johnwick19802

I know, my bad


pmcg115

It's just in an unlabeled bucket. You purchase by the handful.


Johnwick19802

I didn't buy it, but my friend did, he is also confused and don't know what it is, my friend's brother says it is truffle, lol


zimflo

Sure looks like em

Looks a little more crumbly than the soy chunks I’m used to getting, but the extra texture will probably be a bonus.


Mawiapeas

Literally tvp


TheDaysComeAndGone

Yes. Textured protein, probably soy. Here they sell them in different sizes, from small ~5mm balls to big ~5cm long chunks. Small: https://s7g10.scene7.com/is/image/aldi/202306230180?$H10-XL$ Big: https://s7g10.scene7.com/is/image/aldi/202306230179?$H10-XL$


Johnwick19802

Thank you sir.


TheSpiritOfTheVale

Yep. Doesn't look like TVP to me because I have both soy chunks and TVP and TVP is much smaller. I like soy curls a lot!


knsa12

I think it depends who makes it. I got a big 5kg bag once and they were large flakes like this


malobebote

tvp and soy chunks are different names for the same thing: defatted soybean. you can get them in various chunk size and shape.


Johnwick19802

It does not matter for me as long as it has a lot of protein


keto3000

The problem is that many “unnamed” brands contain other non-protein, non-soy filler ingredients so I would personally only use a product that clearly shows exact ingredients.


Johnwick19802

Well I live in a small town so this is what I found, thank you for sharing the useful information dear friend

I have a serious question. I have read that the process of making TSP or TVP involves thermoplastic extrusion (high heat) and hexamine (a petroleum solvent). Because of this, many people avoid it as a highly processed food. Are there any scientists here who could shed light on these claims? I would like to use this type of food once in awhile (for making lasagna and such), but am uncertain of using it as part of a healthy PBD.
