THRIVE Sausage TVP is a quick way to add flavor to many dishes. Try it in casseroles, pastas, or pizza pockets. Sausage TVP is also a great addition to gravy and meatballs.
What is TVP?
TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) is an excellent protein source that is easy to store and use. TVP is made from soy flour that has had the soy oil extracted. It is cooked under pressure, then extruded and dried. TVP is high in fiber and low in fat, making it ideal for food storage and everyday use. Because TVP is not made from meat, it does not run the same contamination risk from bacteria such as E. Coli and Salmonella. TVP is soy based and perfect for those on a vegetarian diet.
Directions:
Soak Sausage TVP in hot water for 5-10 minutes. Add the sausage into your recipe to partially or completely replace sausage.

Storage Conditions
Temperature: Storing THRIVE at a high temperature can significantly increase the speed that calories and vitamins will degrade over time. In the correct storage container, low-moisture foods such as THRIVE can be stored at room temperature or cooler (75 degrees Fahrenheit or lower) and remain nutritious and edible for years. Our stated shelf life assumes that the product will be stored in optimal conditions.
Humidity: The effects of humidity on a closed can are caused by heat and very similar to the effects of high temperature (see above). High humidity can corrode the cans and in some cases even cause the cans to leak. Areas with high humidity can reduce the opened shelf life of the product. As humidity varies with location please use your own discretion to prevent possible sickness from eating spoiled food.
Damaged Container: Minor dents in the center of the can are usually just a cosmetic issue. However, a can that has been dented near or on a seam can have a compromised air-tight seal and allow oxygen to enter the can. If this is the case we recommend using the dented can within the specified opened shelf life, rather than closed.
The best way to maintain the highest quality of your THRIVE products is to take care of them. If you intend on storing your food for the sealed shelf life, store the cans in a place that is not open to elements such as water, light, and air. Take care of it. Don't expose it unnecessarily to the elements. Also, be sure to keep the temperature and humidity low and even. Under these proper storing situations your THRIVE will maintain its delicious taste, natural coloring, and proper nutrients.

Exceeded expectations!
I was delightfully surprised at the taste and quality of the Sausage TVP.
I guess I was thinking it might have an artificial flavor to it; I was wrong!
Not only is the taste very comparable to fresh sausage, but the texture was very comparable as well.
Additionally, it packs all the wonderful flavor of sausage with the bonus of
approx. 1/4 the fat!
I used it this morning for the first time to make an egg scramble for my husband. He liked it and had no idea the "sausage" was actually sausage TVP! That is a testimony to this product's taste!

Another Great Product!
I have used the sausage twice now in omelets. Great taste and easy to cook with. Can't wait to try them on pizza.

I give the sausage TVP 5 stars
I cook the sausage TVP along with freeze dried onions, mixed bell peppers, and scrambled eggs and roll them in flour tortillas. They are delicious!
