what is your experience with TVP vs soy curls and are they worth buying in bulk? Do they have a unique flavor or should they be seasoned as they braise? There is only 1 place in my area that sells soy curls in bulk and it is the same price as pre-packaged soy curls. Soy Curls are TVP. Soy Curls are made from organic soybeans, have no other ingredients ( at least on the label ), and are several times more expensive than ordinary TVP. Watch out for pre-flavored TVP. Some use caramel coloring, and some types of that may be carcinogenic. Pre-flavored TVP often has ingredients beyond soybeans, sometimes even wheat gluten. If you have food allergies read the ingredients before buying. All TVP tastes the same, like some kind of weird dry cereal. It needs to be soaked in some kind of broth to give it flavor. TVP was big among vegetarians in the 70s. Paul McCartney’s late wife Linda McCartney wrote several TVP cookbooks. You can probably find TVP cookbooks in your local library.
