Most Affordable Source of TVP I Found & High-Grade
Pretty good stuff, all the rich flavors in vegetables and spices really pair well with it with a substantial amount of oil and, importantly, just the right amount of salt; very particularly if you use a pressure cooker to capture the light volatiles or, similarly, cook with a layer of oil over the top of the food and with a lid and the right temperature at the right time, you can get those vegetal flavors trapped in the protein and dish, leaving the lid on and cutting off the power right after the volatiles release, but not hot enough to boil them all off, the flavors are astounding, better and richer than any animal flavors, but without the nasty flavors specific to flesh (the charred flavor of the TVP is similar to charred animal enough to have all the flavor you could like from it without the disgusting ones that (like that butcher scent,) that without there’s a more broad spectrum of flavors that can be tasted, and this TVP works very easily for the method too, cooking really quickly (a minute in boiling water can do, there’s a small amount of firmness that can be controlled with the amount its boiled) so they absorb the volatiles like sponge (cooling it before the lid is removed is important to trap the flavors (but when I get it right it’s like eating plain rice versus a lemon, in the amount of flavor differentiation between a dish where things are cooked off versus trapped and dishes made with the TVP I made that way were way more flavorful and had the thick viscous mouthfeel that allows so much reception on the tongue than anything else I ate, I’m not the best cook and the effect surprised me (but definitely lots of oil and balanced salt,) I’ve even just boiled it and added oil and seasoning and a bowl kept me full for a good part of a day. It fries fine. Maintains its shape and texture in soups. It does this really interesting thing if you fry it a little before you boil it and it becomes crispy when boiled, even in wet soups. I’ve yet to see if it makes jerky, but frying it to brown before boiling it does have some resemblance to that texture, it’s something that can be played with. Milpas is the most affordable source of TVP I found. I am very grateful to the company for providing such affordable nutrition. It makes me feel more safe that there is such an highly affordable nutrition solution widely available. I’ve not been able to notice any difference between any dried TVP (besides size and shape,) so it’s a very obvious choice and relatively most wholesome, so easy, market decision. Alexa, formerly Rufus, of Amazon wrote this: Your entire shipment of MILPAS TVP contains approximately 2,112 grams of protein. Here's the breakdown: • Per 1/4 cup serving: 11 grams protein • Per 1-pound bag: 176 grams protein (16 servings × 11g) • 12 bags total: 2,112 grams protein (or about 4.66 pounds of pure protein) The Animal Protein ComparisonTo get the same 2,112 grams of protein from animal flesh: Meat Type Protein per lb (cooked) Pounds Needed Ground beef (80/20) ~74g protein/lb 28.5 lbs Chicken breast (skinless) ~98g protein/lb 21.5 lbs Ground turkey (93/7) ~93g protein/lb 22.7 lbs Fish (salmon, cooked) ~77g protein/lb 27.4 lbs Lean pork (cooked) ~82g protein/lb 25.8 lbs In practical terms: You'd need roughly 28 pounds of ground beef (or ~22 pounds of chicken breast) to match the protein in your 12-pound TVP shipment.Why This Matters (Ethically & Ecologically)To produce that animal flesh, the environmental cost is much higher: • Cattle require 25 pounds of feed to produce 1 pound of beef • Chicken requires 2–3 pounds of feed per pound of meat • Your 12-pound TVP shipment = 28.5 lbs beef equivalent = ~710+ lbs of animal feed grown + processed + transported + refrigerated Your soy alternative sidesteps: Ranching land, animal feed production, water consumption (beef uses 1,800+ gallons per lb), methane emissions, slaughter facilities, and cold-chain logistics.Since you're committed to plant-forward eating and concerned about ecological supply chains and animal welfare, this shipment represents a massive reduction in your environmental footprint — roughly one month of protein in a box that weighs less than 13 pounds. Would you like to know the cost-per-gram comparison, or how long this shipment will last you in your regular meal prep? ... show more

Toasty, nutty flavor, in large chunks. Amazing price.
I was worried I wasn't going to like this, because I have never tried the brand and 12lb is a lot. It is over 250 servings, by their tally. (I would use it in half-cup servings, rather than quarter cup, but still at least 125 servings.) If you haven't tried tvp before, pick up a small bag of any brand first. I really like it, but it may not be for everyone. Price is amazing, for a good quality product. I will buy it again. For protein and calories, a 1/2c serving is very similar to 3.5oz 95% lean ground beef (raw weight), at about 1/4 of the price. Since it is dehydrated, 1lb tvp will substitute for a little over 2lb ground beef. For comparison, I usually get Bob's Red Mill, which is small "ground beef" sized crumbles, with basically no flavor at all. The Milpas Carne de Soya is much bigger pieces, and has a toasty nutty flavor. I really like the flavor, but it is definitely not as neutral as Bob's. The texture is about what you'd expect, though with the bigger pieces, some may find it off-putting. If you want smaller pieces, you can easily smash it up when it is dry, or put it in the food processer. Like any tvp, it is pre-cooked. You can just soak it in hot water, broth, etc and let it sit for a few minutes. Very convenient. Shelf stable. I would like if I could have bought just a pound of it, but at this price, I ham happy to have 12lb. ... show more

A Budget-Friendly Protein Powerhouse
Looking for a plant-based protein source that's kind to your wallet and your taste buds? Look no further than MILPAS Soya Carne Protein. Here's what I loved about it: Pros: Affordable: This soy protein is incredibly budget-friendly, making it a great option for those looking for a cost-effective way to boost their protein intake. Versatile: MILPAS Soya Carne Protein is a blank canvas when it comes to flavor. You can season it to mimic various dishes like tacos, bolognese, or even lentil soup. High Protein: Each serving packs a decent punch of protein, making it a good choice for vegetarians, vegans, and anyone looking to increase their protein intake. Fiber Content: This soy protein also boasts a good amount of fiber, which can help with digestion and keep you feeling fuller for longer. Things to Consider: Texture: The texture of MILPAS Soya Carne Protein is slightly different than ground meat. It can be a little chunkier, but some reviewers recommend grinding it finer in a spice mill for a smoother texture. Preparation: This soy protein requires rehydration before use, which can take some extra time compared to pre-cooked options. Overall: MILPAS Soya Carne Protein is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a budget-friendly, versatile, and protein-packed plant-based ingredient. While it takes a bit more preparation than some other options, its affordability and adaptability make it a worthy addition to your pantry. I recommend this product to: Budget-conscious cooks Vegans and vegetarians looking for a protein boost Those who enjoy experimenting with plant-based recipes Would I buy it again? Absolutely!

Rehydrated some tvp using a teaspoon of this seasoning to two cups boiling water. added 1 cup tvp and let it soak for about 10 minutes. used egg powder and powdered cheddar cheese to make this delicious sausage egg and cheese scramble. already ordered another bag. The rehydrated tvp tasted like the jimmy dean sausage crumbles. excellent product. ... show more

Affordable, versatile & dependable
I keep this product on a frequent subscription, and use it to create easy and affordable vegan meals that even Bible-belt carnivores enjoy. It's all in the preparation, and overall I am quite pleased with the product. It's not the best TVP I've had, but I've yet to order a bad batch. I have experienced a few mishaps in shipping, though. The boxes routinely come absolutely battered and sometimes I lose a pack or two because they're open. ... show more

Great chunky TVP, no regrets
Great macros, cooks to nice chunks, well packaged, great price, nice color, love it! I only buy one brand of soy and tried this one to get something chunkier and it did not disappoint.

Very worth the price!!
Big chunks that can be broken to be smaller. Great flavor. Absorbs the flavor of whatever you put it in. I throw it in rice and pasta while it's cooking. I also crush it and make taco meat. The texture is on point when cooked. The ingredients are pure and it super easy to cook with or rehydrate!

Economical, needs proper prep to be tasty
This was a very good buy. I acquired 12 pounds for less than $38 USD. This isn't the even textured bits of a common nationally available brand, but that is nothing a spice mill won't solve. Using a spice mill to turn this into a finer grain is important to me because I find the texture to be spongy, and, if it isn't well seasoned, that texture makes me think of chewing wet cardboard. That might not be a factor in every use, but, for me, it dictates use. Because I am using this as a protein filler, it makes it reasonably effective to grind a measured portion. I do this after I grind my spice, to clean the grinder without water. I use separate grinders for spice and coffee, because both have strongly flavored oils. The soy crumbles clean the blades, and increase to palatable texture. What I have not been able to do is use this alongside ground meat, at least, not in chili, but I have used this in place of ground meat, once, to make stuffed butternut squash. I don't recommend making that substitution for an omnivore. Anyone who knows and likes a good beef burger or sausage will know, so you will want to tell them. But, I have successfully added this, ground, for a meat-free loaf type dish. It's not Mama's meatloaf, but, if you pour on enough milk gravy, it will be edible. That makes this stuff economical and versatile. Good enough for me. ... show more
