Why Choose David & Kitchen Textured Soy Protein (TSP)?

A classic base for plant-based meat that’s stable, versatile, and cost-effective.

Textured Soy Protein (TSP), also known as soy mince or soy chunks, is one of the most iconic ingredients in plant-based meat production. Made from high-quality, non-GMO soybeans through advanced extrusion, TSP contains more than 50% protein and has a neutral flavor that blends well with any recipe.

Its fibrous texture closely replicates minced or ground meat, making it a popular choice for developing plant-based burgers, braised toppings, dumpling fillings, sauces, and a wide range of international dishes. With a water absorption capacity of 2–2.5 times its dry weight, TSP increases juiciness, improves yield, and reduces overall production cost.

For food manufacturers, restaurant brands, product developers, and plant-based startups, TSP remains the most reliable, scalable, and high-value protein source for modern vegan and vegetarian products.

What Makes the Flavor & Texture of TSP So Appealing?

Meat-like fibers that resemble ground meat — highly suitable for Asian cuisines.

The biggest advantage of Textured Soy Protein lies in its realistic, meat-like bite. Once rehydrated, it becomes soft, springy, and slightly chewy, delivering a texture similar to cooked minced pork or beef.

Because TSP is naturally neutral in flavor, it absorbs marinades, sauces, and spices extremely well, allowing it to fully carry umami and savory notes. This makes it ideal not only for Western-style plant-based meats, but also for Asian dishes like Taiwanese braised “minced meat” rice, dumpling fillings, mapo tofu, dan dan noodles, Japanese curry, and Southeast Asian stir-fries.

Compared to traditional meat, TSP offers a high-protein, low-fat, cholesterol-free alternative that meets the needs of vegans, vegetarians, flexitarians, and consumers focused on health, sustainability, and ethical eating.
