Do you work in the industry? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] quixotic120@lemmy.world 28 points 3 years ago (2 children) I wanted to very badly but then life happened and now I have a whole other career! I still cook a lot though and I have a lot of weird powders and additives and machinery for stuff. I have a whole ass refrigerated centrifuge that can spin 3 liters at a time so I can isolate my own pea and soy protein in quantity! It weighs like 350 pounds and it’s from the 80s but fuck it, it’s super cool and I was able to get it for $25 from a lab I interned at. I can’t make soy leghemoglobin at home though at there’s no commercial supplier I’ve found so far so I have to still buy impossible or beyond meat if I want it, bummer Hopefully there will be more food nerds on lemmy. I am only an amateur food nerd, there are way better ones out there permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] blackluster117@possumpat.io 3 points 3 years ago I hope to see more of your essay comments on food posts in the future.

Have you tried cooking anything else with it (if you can't make patty)? Also is there any interesting reading material you could recommend me? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] quixotic120@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) You can basically use it any way you would use ground beef, bolognese, meatballs, curry, tacos, whatever Read on food and cooking by McGee and ratio by ruhlman to start permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Oh, also one more question, is pea protein nutritionally equivalent to ground beef or would you start missing something if you treated it that way? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] quixotic120@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Pea/soy protein itself as they’re just isolated proteins isn’t but the full product impossible/beyond is pretty comparable permalink fedilink source parent
