In recent years, the demand for plant-based alternatives to animal proteins has grown significantly. Among these, textured pea protein stands out as an ideal ingredient for those needing allergen-free solutions, offering a substitute for soy or gluten. Our product, sourced from Europe, ensures high standards of food safety, quality, and traceability throughout the supply chain.
The main characteristics of textured pea protein include:
– High protein content: TVP boosts the protein content of products without affecting caloric intake;
– Excellent liquid absorption capacity: it retains natural liquids released during cooking, keeping the product juicy and tender;
– Fibrous, meat-like texture: TVP mimics the texture of meat, both in bite and appearance.
Textured pea protein is widely used in the production of meat analogues such as burgers, meatballs, nuggets, and plant-based sausages. It is also used in the preparation of sauces like ragù and chili, as well as fillings for pasta such as ravioli and tortellini, and dishes like lasagna and cannelloni. Additionally, it can be incorporated into the production of high-protein snacks and bars.
