Guest guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Rice polishings or rice bran can be used in place of the wheat germ, but tvp is soy based and there is not a sub as far as I know. I would be happy to hear if there was one though. BL Shalom uv'racha b'Yeshua HaMashiach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Use rice germ instead of wheat germ For TVP, just find one made from soy. > -----Original Message---- > Is there anything that can be used as a substitute for wheat germ that > is GF & not potato based?

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 If you can have soy, there is a product called Soy Curls that contains only soy, I think it is processed with pressure then dried. It works pretty good for our family, when I am looking for something like TVP. I don't use it a lot, but I have a package on hand for when I want it. It takes on the flavor of whatever you put it with. I like to soak mine in something with flavor while it rehydrates. Barbara On Jul 5, 2006, at 7:46 AM, K.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 I am sorry, I misunderstood. The TVP I get is only soy so I thought the original poster was looking to replace soy based tvp. BL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Well, I am very confused...because I thought *all* TVP was soy. Is there another kind?

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I am thinking there must be some which is " contaminated " with gluten, but as far as I knew it was just soy and flavour and in some cases just soy.

Some TVP is made from soy; some from wheat; and some is a combination of both. Nothing is simple and everything can become complicated when cooking and eating gluten-free!

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 SoSoya Brand TVP is 100% soy, no gluten at all, it is the brand we use at home. They have nugget style and ground style. THe ground style comes with a seasoning packet that is also GF. I called resently to ask them.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 LOL! I had both types in the pantry when diagnosed - with CD, a wheat allergy and a soy allergy, all at once. I'd been eating more and more whole wheat (eat more fiber the doc says) and soy (trying to avoid dairy, thinking it might be a problem), all to no avail. After several years of ZERO soy, I can now tolerate lecithin and tiny amounts of soy oil without breaking out or wheezing. If nothing else, eliminating TVP was a positive step, culinarily. > > > I am sorry, I misunderstood. The TVP I get is only soy so I thought the > original poster was looking to replace soy based tvp.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 TVP = Textured Vegetable Protein Any non-meat source can be used, but wheat and soy are the two most common ones used. The two can even be mixed in some products. And on labels, HVP used to be allowed (although I've seen it even this year) for Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein - again wheat and soy are the two biggies used (for non-vegans, there are even hydrolyzed beef and milk protein products out there). > > > Well, I am very confused...because I thought *all* TVP was soy.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I have several recipes that call specifically for rapeseed oil. I can not find any locally at the moment, but want to try the recipes.... do you think they chose rapesees oil for health benefits or taste? Can I substitute olive oil or another in the recipe? thanks,Maureen _______________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi Maureen, Rapeseed oil is the same thing as Canola oil. And, yes, that's usually selected for health reasons. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapeseed Sharon Maureen Mooney wrote: > I have several recipes that call specifically for rapeseed oil. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
