Certified Organic Sunflower-Based TVP

Organic Sunflower TVP Flakes

Neutral-tasting textured sunflower protein with a consistent, satisfying texture for mince-style meals, tacos, pasta sauces, chilli and meal preparation.

SpiceBloom Organic Sunflower TVP Flakes are a versatile plant-based pantry ingredient made from certified-organic sunflower protein. The dry flakes have a mild, neutral flavour, allowing them to absorb the stocks, sauces, herbs and seasonings used in your recipe.

Once softened, the flakes can be used in many of the same dishes where textured vegetable protein or mince-style ingredients are normally used. Try them in Bolognese, tacos, burritos, chilli, shepherd’s pie, stuffed vegetables, savoury bowls and batch-cooked fillings.

Basic preparation: Cover the required amount with hot water or stock and allow it to soften. Drain any excess liquid if needed, then season and cook it through with the other ingredients in your recipe.

What Is Sunflower TVP?

TVP stands for textured vegetable protein. It is a dry, textured ingredient designed to soften when liquid is added and to take on the flavours of the surrounding recipe.

This version is made from certified-organic sunflower protein rather than soy. It provides a different option for shoppers who prefer a sunflower-based ingredient, although no soy-free or allergen-free claim is made for the finished product.

The supplied nutrition information provides 52g of protein and 17g of dietary fibre per 100g. Because it has a neutral flavour, the final result depends heavily on the stock, sauce, herbs and seasonings used during preparation.

How to Prepare and Season It

  • Rehydrate: Cover the flakes with hot water or stock and allow them to soften.
  • Drain if required: Remove excess liquid when the flakes have absorbed enough moisture.
  • Build flavour: Cook with onion, garlic, tomato, herbs, spices or your preferred sauce.
  • For tacos: Use chilli, cumin, smoked paprika, tomato and a Mexican-inspired seasoning.
  • For bolognese: Cook with tomato, onion, garlic and Italian herbs.
  • For richer texture: Combine with lentils, beans, mushrooms or finely diced vegetables.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between sunflower TVP and soy TVP?

Sunflower TVP is made from sunflower protein, while conventional TVP is commonly soy-based. Both are dry textured ingredients that soften in liquid and absorb the flavours used in the recipe.

Does sunflower TVP need to be rehydrated?

It should generally be softened with hot water or stock before being added to mince-style dishes. Drain excess liquid when necessary, then season and cook it with the remaining ingredients.

Can it replace mince in recipes?

It can be used as a plant-based alternative in many mince-style recipes, including bolognese, tacos, chilli, pies and stuffed vegetables. Seasoning and sauce are important because the flakes have a neutral flavour.

How many 25g servings are in each pack?

Based on the supplied 25g serving size, the 500g pack provides approximately 20 servings and the 1kg pack provides approximately 40 servings.

Celestial Cranberries

I am used to supermarket brands of cranberries but they are all sweetened with sugar. I didn’t realise that you could buy organic cranberries until I stumbled on Spice Bloom earlier this year when seeking organic alternatives to our regular supermarket purchases.
This Labour Weekend I handed out teaspoons of these cranberries to several family visitors. You should have seen the looks on their faces. And the inevitable question where do you get these? So I told them.
The fruit is plump and juicy and the resultant flavour is intense. Too often people eat without much chewing. The fruit here rewards because the more you chew the better it gets.
