 Really, really tasty Apr 05, 2009
By B. DeJong
This is a great product, that is really delicious. It works in a variety of recipes, and is a great healthy alternative for chicken chunks or tuna. It is particularly delicious when allowed to marinate in sauce of choice in the refrigerator over night, allowing it to become saturated with the taste.
Great in chili, chicken 'friendly' salad sandwiches, soup, enchiladas, stir-fry, and so much more.
Suggested Instructions: boil 3 cups of your liquid of choice (such as veggie broth). Once boiling, add 1 cup tvp, and continue to boil for 5-10 minutes (longer makes it more tender and juicy). Drain, and use.
Note: this stuff is not meant to be eaten raw.

Great for chicken recipes! Jan 20, 2009
By Susurration

I love these TVP chunks as a veggie substitute in recipes that call for chicken. It is great in "chicken" curries, casserole, and creamy soups and stews. Although TVP is normally really boring, these chunks have a great texture and seems to have a really good taste in sauce-rich recipes. They are slightly more chewy than minced TVP, which makes your recipe more interesting. My meat-eating friends don't seem to spot that this is veggie food, so I suppose that is a plus for entertaining ... :-)
These chunks reconstitute really quickly (about 10 minutes) in water or cooking sauce. So this is a very easy ingredient to use. The chunks provide good value and a tasty addition for veggie cooking.

 Great in soups Oct 06, 2008
By Dori Herndon
The stuff is pretty bad to eat straight. However it went great in the soup. It soaked up all the flavors nicely and kept the soup from being watery. It's just soy bean and no salt added which is great for my husband with blood pressure problems.

Great alternative to eating animals Feb 23, 2008
By A. Brown
These are easy to re-hydrate in vegetable broth or water and are great in recipes that otherwise call for meat. Being a vegetarian, these are great for me!

 BEWARE!! The shipping costs more than the product!!!!! Jul 07, 2009
By Yemaluz
I was really excited to find these-- I lived in India and this was a staple at my school. Really great in curry. They truly are delicious and meaty, plus I've never seen them in the United States. The price was right (2.39 for a 1-lb bag). I put 5 bags in my cart, went to check out, and was shocked to find that the shipping cost over $15. Really? More than $3 a bag???? What a rip off!!!!! I can't believe that nobody else mentioned this in their review. I'm going to call the company and find out what the deal is, and if it's a different story, I'll update.
