It takes on the flavor of the spices it is simmering in. I'd like to try it in veggie burgers...my guys are meat and potato guys...we'll see how that flys!homefirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14977168909477690597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160942949010085255.post-87700821178960254892011-12-02T01:29:28.970-05:002011-12-02T01:29:28.970-05:00Gottcha, was it a blustery day for Christopher Rob...Gottcha, was it a blustery day for Christopher Robin in you part of Cali ?pelenakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09486662453316027558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160942949010085255.post-65831148051366005662011-12-02T00:04:29.291-05:002011-12-02T00:04:29.291-05:00I break it down into 1/2 gallon canning jars with ...I break it down into 1/2 gallon canning jars with oxygen absorbers and then vacumme seal with the FoodSaver jar attachment. I'm not a salter either; so I don't worry too much about the salt. The men in my family have not been told about the *dangers* of soy in their diet and I'm not too worried about it. ;)Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14189157322930654023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160942949010085255.post-9294865269689421202011-12-01T21:30:41.946-05:002011-12-01T21:30:41.946-05:00I'm starting to see how useful this product is...I'm starting to see how useful this product is.

TVP is sort of like tofu in that it takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it in.homefirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14977168909477690597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160942949010085255.post-59478466965441856072011-11-30T19:27:03.598-05:002011-11-30T19:27:03.598-05:00Good point Winston, I rarely tend to salt my food ...Good point Winston, I rarely tend to salt my food but I will mention it to hubby. He's not a a big salter pepper or spicy is his game.

Most folks rarely ever look at their salt intake and Americans eat an astonishing amount. <br /><br />So unless you are aware of what is in your normal diet, the salt in TVP can take you into excess.<br /><br />WinstonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160942949010085255.post-16603304708645543472011-11-30T01:50:31.638-05:002011-11-30T01:50:31.638-05:00Come the "check" as we refer to the grea...Come the "check" as we refer to the great income tax payout I'll do some comparison shopping and buy it in bulk. Lynda, do u break down the bulk package & just vacuum seal in jars or add O2 absorbers ?<br /><br />Hubby has warned me of the dangers (singing soprano)of soy so not to over do it ... one thing I have noticed about our 60% vegan diet is that when we do eat meat it tastes just soo damn good !pelenakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09486662453316027558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160942949010085255.post-17945851771843239762011-11-29T19:31:38.233-05:002011-11-29T19:31:38.233-05:00I started using TVP last year and I think it's...I started using TVP last year and I think it's great. We purchase a steer every year and we were running out by the 10th month...using the TVP has reduced our meat consumption by about a third...wow! I add it to all of my ground meat recipes..it's amazing. I buy mine in bulk at WinCo...very inexpensive.Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14189157322930654023noreply@blogger.com
