Its not really clear what the graph is trying to show.

Food being farther right along the x-axis is not inherently better unless weight is a concern. Maybe if you’re hiking or going to space or something, you would want to bring as much protein as possible with minimal weight.

What the graph really says is that legumes have a very low water content relative to other foods like meat. If you dry meat to make jerky, it would be off the chart to the right, around 60% of the total mass being protein.

The y-axis, cost per gram of protein, is interesting on its own. Plotting it against some other variable could maybe show some relationship between $/g and that other variable…

… but this graph doesn’t show much relationship at all, other than “similar foods will land in similar areas on the graph.”

Mostly fat so you gotta buy the defatted flour (which still has quite a lot compared to TVP)

Do they make textured defatted peanut flour products

Peanut-based TVP is produced in China where peanut oil is a popular cooking oil. (Wikipedia)

I need to go to China

edit 2:

Welcome to /c/vegan and congratulations on your first steps toward overcoming liberalism and ascending to true leftist moral superiority.

Rules

  • No plant-based diet bullshit or promotion of plant-based capitalism. Veganism isn’t about you, it’s about historical materialist anti-speciesism, anti-racist animalization, and animal liberation. Ethical vegans only.
  • No omni apologists or carnists. Babystepping is for libs, and we’re not here to pat you on the back. Good faith questions and debate about how to fight for animal liberation are allowed.
  • No advocating violence to any species for any reason. If you think this is negotiable GTFO. This includes but is not limited to animal testing, slaughter, and mass euthanasia. Anything that promotes speciesism or the commodification of animals will be removed.
  • Use Content Warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content. Especially if a comrade requests it.
  • Questions about diet belong in c/food. It’s also a great place to share recipes.
