I thought that TVP used in some of the recipes was MSG. I heard that it is the main ingredient in TVP. Does anyone know?

TVP is Textured Vegetable Protein. It is often made from wheat gluten. TVP comes in many forms, small granules to large chunks, and can be light tan to dark brown. I suppose some TVP could have Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) in the seasoning, but I believe it is generally MSG free.

Thanks - I have heard a lot about using TVP and was concerned when I heard about the MSG.
