Energy Feelings Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) Ground Beef is a fantastic alternative to animal proteins. It has a delicious, slightly salty flavor that, when seasoned, resembles meat. Low in fat, very low glycemic index. 53% protein source. Gluten and lactose free, certified organic (bio) and allergen free (vegan, bio, sugar free, no artificial flavors). Keep in mind that it absorbs 3 times its volume, so 100g of minced meat-type texture becomes 400g of minced vegan meat once hydrated. Per serving (30-50g), 1) Rehydrate the protein by adding 2 cups (50 g) of Texturized Strips in 1 cup of hot water (200 ml) for 15 minutes. 2) Drain off any excess water. You'll have 200g of vegan strips ready to sauté, bake, or fry. 3) Use it as an alternative to meat in the same proportion as meat. 4) Once rehydrated, it can be kept refrigerated for a few days, and generally used as if it were meat. For vegan beef strips mix: 5% beetroot juice, 5% soy sauce and 3% vinegar For stews (Bolognese, lasagna, meatloaf, etc.), pre-soaking isn't necessary. You can use it dry in your recipe, adding the water during cooking. Store in closed containers at room temperature, away from direct light. Store in clean, dry conditions. Shelf life: up to 12 months in sealed original packaging. ES-ECO-019-CT
