Textured soy protein, often called TSP or TVP(textured vegetable protein), is made from soy flour that is compressed until the protein fibers change in structure. It is used as a nutritious extender in a variety of food products. It is available to home cooks and is sold as a dried, granular product. When it is rehydrated with boiling water, TSP has a texture similar to ground beef. TSP is also available in chunk-sized pieces that take on the consistency of stew meat when rehydrated. 3, record 7, English, - soy%20protein

Thousands of restaurants, hotels, bars, and retailers use our products. Our granita machines are just what you need to serve your customers delicious cold treats. Originating in Italy, granita is also called "granizado" in some Spanish-speaking countries, and is sometimes called Italian Ice in the United States. Like ice cream, granita is a cold delight often employed as a desert : a nice cooler for a hot day or an elegant palate cleanser for a fancy meal. Unlike ice crea, granita does not derive from dairy products. It is more often based on fruit juice, vegetable juice, wine, coffee or liqueur with sugar mixed in. Freezing give granita a characteristic rough granular texture. 1, record 12, English, - granita%20machine
