Textured Pea Protein (TVP) is a high-protein, meat-like ingredient made from non-GMO yellow peas through an extrusion process. Available in 70% and 80% protein levels, this flake-format TVP offers a neutral flavor, fibrous texture, and excellent water-binding properties, making it ideal for vegan meat, snacks, and meal systems.
Chibio’s TVP flakes are 100% plant-based, allergen-safe (free from soy & gluten), and support clean-label innovation in modern flexitarian food formats.
Chibio’s Textured Pea Protein Flakes are made with 100% yellow peas, processed through thermo-mechanical extrusion to create spongy, fibrous flakes that rehydrate easily and mimic meat textures in plant-based formulations.
