Why do we not eat sóy chunks? They seem to be an even more cost efficient source of protein than whey. I found an Indian company on Alibaba exporting the stuff at a great price: 100kg of chunks for 70 bucks, which means that you'd be paying just 70 cents for 500 grams of protein. Of course you pay more at your local grocery store, but it still seems to be cheaper than the alternatives. So what's the deal?

>>77001770Not a fan of Indians myself at all, but I think I'd gladly risk an upset tummy for protein this cheap.>>77002275Not shilling, just curious why eating these chunks isn't more widespread under frugal lifters. I'm sure there's a reason, but I'm failing to grasp it.>>77002382Thank you for a real answer. Is like 400 grams of chunks per day really going to be harmful though? I can't find any research suggesting that isoflavones are actually harmful.
Cost of shipping will be a factor. That aside, I don't think onions chunks/TVP is a bad idea really because of the cost and ease. I mostly eat 'whole foods' but I don't think its too different from protein powders and would 100% take this over most protein bars. Basically its the ultimate slop food: cheap, decent protein, very versatile and shelf stable.

>>77001708>chunksNot food.>ONIONS in generalIt has bad rep, rigthly or not. It would be the cheapest protein and they feed it to animals so it should work.I've been trying to buy basedbeans but can't find them anywhere here in Hungary, not even for animal feed. I don't know if they banned it or what, used to be able to buy it years ago just like any other legumes. Even in the Asian shops it's very rare and overpriced so not worth it. Edamame is available but again that's not cost efficient.I did just order onions protein powder though.

>>77001708Don't get from India. It's going to have high levels of heavy metals and pesticides.
>>77003231Even after shipping it'd be so incredibly cheap. And if shipping really is an issue you could just start a side business selling excess to people at your local gym - it'd recoup the shipping plus more.>>77003335>not foodWhy not? I think you can just eat them normally, doesn't sound too bad. Maybe eating a large amount of it would suck.>beansI can find European webshops selling them for like 3 euros per kg (400g of protein), which is still significantly cheaper than whey. Seems more difficult to consume than the chunks though.>>77003441What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
>>77003463If you normally eat legumes then you would just cook basedbeans the same way. If you never do then maybe try out chunks but they look like animal feed.Of course plant protein should be cheaper than animal protein. I would have to order a big amount for it to be worth it with shipping, otherwise I can buy normal beans or split peas. You don't have to order shit from India, it should be available anywhere, as I said they use it for animal feed.
