Wholesome Provisions Textured Vegetable Protein is an unflavored, hexane-free soy-based meat substitute that reconstitutes quickly into a versatile, high-protein plant ingredient that mimics chicken texture.

This 16 oz package is crafted from #1 graded yellow soybeans in the USA and yields approximately 3.4 pounds when rehydrated. It’s formulated for cooks who want a neutral, absorbent base that takes on marinades, sauces, and spices while delivering 25 g of protein per serving, minimal carbs, and a long pantry life when stored properly. The product is unflavored, gluten-free, dairy-free, MSG-free, and made without hexane processing, offering a clean-label option for plant-based meal preparation.

How quickly will this soy protein rehydrate and fit into weeknight cooking?

Reconstitution is fast and reliable—most cooks will have ready-to-use textured protein in under 10 minutes. It soaks up liquid and seasoning, which shortens active cooking tasks and simplifies meal prep.

• Rehydrates in 5–8 minutes with hot water or broth.
• Yield: one 16 oz package becomes about 3.4 pounds rehydrated.
• Ready for stir-fries, tacos, pasta, soups, or sandwiches right after draining and seasoning.

What nutrition and dietary benefits does this product offer?

This textured vegetable protein provides a concentrated plant-protein source with fiber and key minerals, suitable for many dietary approaches that exclude animal products. It’s unseasoned so you control sodium and added ingredients.

• Approximately 25 g protein per serving for muscle and satiety support.
• Low net carbs (around 6 g) and high fiber (about 9 g) per serving.
• Supplies potassium, calcium, and iron without dairy or animal ingredients.

How do I use and season the unflavored textured vegetable protein?

Because it’s neutral in taste, the product excels as a blank canvas: marinate after rehydration, simmer in sauces, or crisp it in a skillet. Use common pantry seasonings and cooking techniques to achieve familiar profiles like “Just Like Chicken.”

• Rehydrate in hot broth for deeper flavor, then drain and sauté for golden texture.
• Add to curries, chili, sloppy joe mixes, or grain bowls to stretch dishes and boost protein.
• Marinate after rehydration for at least 15 minutes to infuse herbs, spices, or citrus.

• Store unopened in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Transfer opened portions to an airtight container to prevent humidity exposure.
