Textured soy protein
Soy chunks or textured soy protein, often called TSP, is used by the food industry in many foods products, mainly foods that resemble meat products such as beef, pork or chicken. Soy chunks are also available in health stores. It is granular in texture and once rehydrated it has the texture of minced beef. To use textured soy protein read the instruction on the packages. Normally it says to rehydrate the protein in cold or hot water and to let it rehydrate for a few minutes. When you add a bit of vinegar or lemon juice the textured soy protein rehydrates quicker. Textured soy protein can replace, completely or partly, ground beef in most recipes. Textured soy protein is also available in larger pieces that take on the consistency of stew meat after rehydration or as ready to eat soy jerky. Textured soy protein has a shelf-life of more than a year when stored dry at room temperature. After rehydration, it should be used at once or stored for a max 3 days in the refrigerator.Production of Soy Chunks

Soy protein drink HELP
Of course you can grind the soy nuggets or textured soy protein into powder and then mix it in your drink, but the texture will not be smooth. Soy nuggets are specifically made to obtain a meat-like texture and not to dissolve in water. If you are after soy protein, why you don't use soy protein powder, or other soy products such as soy milk, tofu or tempeh? Or why you don't add soy powder to your favourite brand of soy milk.Rob - 11/11/2013
Soy protein drink HELP
Hi,I am trying to make a protein rich drink based on soya but i'm stuck at one point...i have soya nuggets which is normally boiled with water, squeezed, hydrated and re-squeezed about 2 times before cooking...
So while powdering them should i do all that then grind it into powder or just grind the soya nuggets directly??????????????
and any other suggestions for a protein rich shake will also be appreciated (and yes this is for body building)

soya chunks
Does any have a recipe for Soya Chunks? How do I use them?vic - 20/11/2013
soya chunks
Soya chunks need first to be boiled for 20 minutes in water (100g soya chunks + 300 ml water). To improve taste you can add to the water soy sauce, herbs or vegetable stock. Drain the boiled soya chunks and use them in recipes instead of minced meat. You can also grind the soya chunks in a mixer to get a fine powder and use it in smoothies to increase protein content.Rob - 20/11/2013
Expired TSP product
Is it healthy to eat or cook textured soy protein products? It's been sitting in my cupboard for a year. Should I just throw it away? Please advise.DAVO - 25/02/2015
Expired TSP product
Textured soy protein is healthy, but there are many other soy products which are healthier such as soy milk, tofu and tempeh. Textured soy protein, being almost fat free, has a very long shelf life. Expired textured soy protein may still be eatable but I would throw it away.Rob - 25/02/2015

Could anyone tell me how long it takes to rehydrate soya "mince" in COLD water.Lynn - 09/08/2023
Rehydrate textured soy protein
Hydrating textured soy protein in cold water will take 1 to 2 hours. Normally it is hydrated in hot water, then it only takes a few minutes and also removes some bad flavors.Rob - 10/09/2023
Astringent taste textured soya protein
When I cook with pure textured soya proteien, there is a very big astringent action in the mouth. But when I use branded soya mince from premixed packet bought at a supermarket, I dont have this problem. What are the food companies doing to their soya protein that makes it more palatable?Guest - 01/11/2013
