Textured vegetable protein (dry)

TVP, dry; dehydrated soy protein granules that expand when hydrated.

Weigh dry; hydrate 1 part TVP to about 1–1.5 parts hot broth, then season.

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

• Refrigerate perishable foods within 2 hours (1 hour if above 90°F/32°C).
• Keep the refrigerator at or below 40°F (4°C) and the freezer at 0°F (-18°C).
• Cool hot foods in shallow containers so they chill faster and more safely.
• Use an appliance thermometer to verify fridge and freezer temperatures.

Keep dry and sealed; store hydrated TVP chilled and use within a few days.
