Pour boiling water over it, enough to cover. If, after about a half hour there's still moisture, drain it off. Use as ground beef in tacos, chili, soup. I buy the Morningstar brand (green bag, called Meal Starters or Crumbles) in the grocery store. it is TVP but has spices, flavorings added. Just thaw and use as ground beef. 10 grams of protein in 2/3 cup, 2.5 grams fat. Don't know how that compares to ground beef as I haven't eaten beef in years.
