42. I LOVE Butler Soy Curls. They reconstitute like TVP, only they're big and have a nice texture.

I make the best tacos on god's green earth with them, the recipe is around here somewhere.

The awesome part is the ingredient list: textured whole soybeans. That's it. Then you can add whatever you want when you reconstitute them, total control over what goes into your body.

A package is about $4 for 8 oz dry, which is a whole heck of a lot once you add water. Several dinners worth.
