Wholesome Provisions Textured Vegetable Protein, Vegan Meat Substitute, 100% Hexane Free, Made with #1 Graded Yellow Soybeans, Made in US, Gluten Free, Just Like Beef, Unflavored (1 Package)

I will definitely buy it again, especially if I find it with a better price! I added it to a soup and my family liked fibers, thread-like structures made up of protein.

I used to buy TVP chunks at a natural food store and they stopped carrying it because they said nobody bought it. I said well I did. So I haven’t made my favorite dish in the veganomicron cookbook, cholent, For a while so I bought this product to try I was a little leery but it is excellent and tastes just like beef it really does. It is a little pricey but I think it will last a long time and it is good so it is worth it to me

It's quick and easy to make, just be aware that it has no taste, so make sure to add extra seasoning.

I like this product in both the crumbles and larger pieces. It does a nice job of replicating a “beef” like texture for veggie chili, stews, salads, really just about anything. There really isn’t much of a taste to the product. It absorbs flavor from what you cook it with. A bag lasts me a long time.

This doesn't really taste like anything, it's just a mealy texture that resembles what you would expect from any mashed bean product.Also, while there's no added sugar, the way this is processed and dried concentrates the natural sugar from the beans and each (rather small) serving contains the equivalent of two teaspoons of sugar. If you're on a regular diet, that's not much. But it's quite a bit if you're on a restricted diet and trying to cut sugar. (especially when I think most people are likely to eat double the serving size, since it's not very big)The smell is also somewhat off putting unless you don't mind the smell of low grade dogfood, which is often a high concentration of exactly this type of product (compressed dried soy beans ~ as opposed to higher grade dog foods that have more meat and either less or no soy)Just read the label, that's all this is, textured dry soy and a coloring agent, but at a much higher price than dried soy should be.Overall if what you are looking for is dry soybean mash that you'll flavor yourself, this is serviceable so I gave it 3 stars. But it's not a product I can get excited about or recommend.Also note: these products do not always survive shipping, their dry nature leads them to crumble and break down into either smaller bits or powder if they are subject to a lot of rough handling.

So I do not have a picture because there was no time for it but let me tell you this product was very easy to make and delicious!! I made tamales and I was worry a lot about the texture but it turn out to be perfect!! I rehydrate the whole package as instructed with veggie stock for more flavor and it grew in dice so much that I had to freeze part of it for another recipe. Great product! Definitely buying it again.

Blech! We are vegan and buy a good amount of this sort of faux meat products. I made a batch of our favorite broccoli "beef" using the product. I will say that even though the pieces are very small, the texture is very good. But the taste. It has a really bad aftertaste. You take a bite, say "say this isn't bad", then next thing you're saying " ick, what is wrong with this?" The flavor is way weird. Since we cooked it in a very familiar recipe of ours, it is obvious it's this product and not the recipe. Sorry for the waste, but a huge batch of broccoli "beef" went into the garbage can. Cannot recommend!!

Overall the product is great. Their preparation instruction, although easy, don't make the best use of the product or give the best results. Use vegetable broth to rehydrate and double the amount of liquid, add seasonings like onion and/or garlic powder, liquid smoke to improve flavor and simmer on stove to improve rehydrated texture. I like to add olive oil as well.
