Are soy chunks, the best product for developing meat alternatives? (…yes)
There is a strong active demand for healthy vegetarian meat alternatives. Soy products such as Textured Soy Chunks (or Soya Chunks) are mostly valued for their high-quality sustainable protein quality.
Our Textured Soy Proteins contain 50% or 70% protein and are available in different sizes and shapes. Varying from granules to flakes to chunks. Proteins provide better texture, flavour and absorb moisture. It is exactly that, what makes these products the perfect fit in vegan and vegetarian dishes!
So… Why use soy chunks as a meat alternative?
Textured Soy Protein chunks absorb moisture while improving the texture and flavour of food. They are suitable for vegan and vegetarian dishes. Containing 50% protein, soy chunks resemble the texture of cooked ground beef once re-hydrated. Soy protein concentrate can be used in meat products increasing fat and water retention, as well as enhancing nutritional values.
Soy products are one of the most complete and versatile vegan proteins. Besides vegetarian and vegan products, they can be used in a wide range of food applications, including, breakfast, baked foods, animal feed and cereals.
