PrimeProTex is a non-GMO soy based protein powder concentrate that has little flavor and can be made into a variety of meat-like textures and flavors. PrimeProTex can be made into plant-based meat alternatives mixing 10 parts water with one part PrimeProTex and boiling in water for 5-15 minutes depending on what final product is desired. After boiling, the remaining contents is drained and slightly pressed to remove excess liquid. After draining, the rehydrated PrimeProTex mix can be pressed into shapes, spices, marinated, and/or mixed with sauce.
