Proteins
- Cooked vs raw weight changes moisture; pick the correct form when converting.
- Dice size affects cup measurements—weight is more reliable for proteins.
Storage & tools
- Store in a cool, dry pantry (under 21 °C / 70 °F) away from direct sunlight.
- Use airtight containers to keep humidity out — dry ingredients gain 1–2 % mass in humid air.
- Rotate stock: first in, first out, even when the product looks unchanged.
- Check best-by dates; potency can fade before the product looks old.
Keep dry and sealed; store hydrated TVP chilled and use within a few days.
