The store's best-selling items include Cheese Powders, while they also offer a range of products catered to specialty diets, such as vegan, high-protein, and low-carb. Hoosier Hill Farms' Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) is a plant-based pantry staple that brings wholesome protein to any dish, and their Nutritional Yeast Flakes add B vitamins and savory, cheesy flavor to favorite meals and snacks.

One recipe idea featuring Hoosier Hill Farm's products is Vegan Tacos. This dish requires 8 small tortillas, toppings of your choice, 1 cup of Hoosier Hill Farm Textured Vegetable Protein, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, 1 chopped yellow onion, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 cup of vegetable broth, 2 teaspoons of chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.

To prepare, you'll start by sautéing the onion and garlic in the vegetable oil until the onions begin to brown. Then, you'll add the vegetable broth, Textured Vegetable Protein, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne, and salt, simmering until the TVP is tender. Finally, you'll spoon the filling into the warmed tortillas and add your desired toppings.

Hoosier Hill Farm's Textured Vegetable Protein is a nutrient-rich soy protein product that serves as an excellent meat alternative in a variety of recipes. It's a great source of plant-based protein and fiber while being low in fat, and it easily absorbs the flavors of marinades and sauces, making it a versatile ingredient. Unlike many meat alternatives, TVP is shelf-stable and requires no refrigeration or freezing, making it a convenient addition to your pantry.

To rehydrate the Textured Vegetable Protein, you'll need to add 1 cup of dry TVP to a medium bowl, cover it with 1 cup of hot water or vegetable stock, and let it stand for 5-10 minutes until the crumbles are tender. This method works well when making tacos, sloppy joes, and stir-fries. Alternatively, you can add the TVP directly to soups, chilis, stews, or bolognese sauces, though you may need to add more broth or water as the TVP will absorb liquid during cooking.

Hoosier Hill Farm's Textured Vegetable Protein is a soy-based product, and the company's facility also processes dairy, peanuts, and wheat products, so it's important to be aware of any allergens. The product should be stored in a cool, dry place, and refrigeration or freezing is not recommended.
