I've only read good things about soy curls and considering they're made from whole soy beans, I bought some to further lure my husband to the healthy side.
Disclosure: because of various digestive issues, I always introduce new foods with only tried and true foods and spices
Two things about soy curls bother me.
One is on me... they look so much like meat! After rehydrating, I wasn't expecting to feel such a wave of revulsion (my husband had the exact opposite reaction and has been eating the leftovers with glee)
Two is the point of the post. After eating the soy curls for dinner, I woke up at 2AM with major bloating (I consume soy all the time via tofu, milk and tempeh) and when I stood up, my knees ached. Inflammation was one of the things that led me to stop dabbling between vegetarianism and veganism. (some people need a heart attack and I needed achy joints) I haven't had TVP in years so I have no idea if that would cause the same sort of issue for me. I suppose it could be psychosomatic, but I hope my brain doesn't have that much control over the rest of me!
What I'd like to know is whether anyone who consumes soy has had an adverse reaction to soy curls?
