Notes
**Nutritional facts are just estimates. Please utilize your own brand nutritional values to double check against our estimates.
For a more cohesive mix, especially if you don't want to pieces of onions, would be to place all your ingredients once you have soaked TVP into a food processor and blend together until combined.
