TEXTURED SOY FLOUR - TSF
|
|
Textured soy flour is the result of extruding defatted soy flour until the protein fibres change in structure. Rich in protein (contains about 70% protein) and an excellent source of fibre, texturized soy flour is also low in fat and sodium. It is usually sold in granules or in chunk-size pieces. It is available plain and in many flavours, including meat, vegetable, nuts, fish, etc. TSF is a dehydrated product, and it must be rehydrated before being cooked. for 250 ml of granules, add 200ml of boiling water and let simmer for a few minutes. Once rehydrated, granules have a texture similar to ground beef. TSF is used as a nutritious mat extender or a substitute for ground beef or ground chicken, and can be used to make burger, lasagna, spaghetti sauce and tacos. It can be added to a variety of products, such as sauces, stews, baked goods and cereals. TSF is fat-free, therefore reducing the fat content of dishes. Dry TSF may be kept in a dry place for several months, but rehydrated TSF must be refrigerated and used within a week. |
