THORMI TVP Mince is a high-quality dry textured vegetable protein (protein content 65-70%) produced from EU-origin pea protein using advanced extrusion technology.

Manufactured by OÜ Vegestar in Estonia, it is a clean-label, plant-based protein ingredient designed for versatile food applications requiring a minced-meat-like texture with high nutritional value.

The product is light beige in colour with a mild, neutral aroma and a clean, pleasant plant protein taste, free from off-flavours. In its dry form, THORMI

TVP Mince is light and crunchy, making it suitable not only for further processing but also for direct consumption as a high-protein crunchy ingredient.

When rehydrated, the product expands efficiently and delivers a fibrous, juicy texture that closely mimics traditional minced meat, providing a satisfying bite and chew. The structure consists of short, twisted and porous strands with an irregular, curly surface, forming soft, meaty fragments after hydration.

Typical applications include bolognese sauces, tacos, plant-based burgers and patties, lasagna, stuffed vegetables and virtually any recipe where minced meat is traditionally used. Thanks to its neutral taste and crunchy dry texture, it can also be consumed directly as a healthy, high-protein snack, mixed into cereals, granola or trail mixes, combined with dried fruits or vegetables, or used as a topping in breakfast bowls with milk, plant-based drinks, yogurt or kefir.

THORMI TVP Mince is an extremely versatile ingredient suitable for innovative food concepts ranging from protein-enriched snacks and ready-to-eat products to salad toppings and selected pet food applications.

Typical hydration ratio is 1:2.5 (TVP:water), with significant volume expansion upon soaking.

NB! Pea cultivation is significantly more resource-efficient than animal farming, requiring far less land, water and energy while producing lower emissions; is cruelty free and supports both human health and planetary wellbeing.
