What's TVP?
Or what makes us think that something is edible? The cashew for instance.

"The cashew nut seed is a kidney-shaped snack surrounded by several toxic layers intended to keep animals from gobbling it up.
Outside the seed is a double shell filled with anacardic acid, which causes a skin rash on contact. On the bright side, the acid has
medical uses -- it's mildly antibacterial and antifungal, and it's sometimes used to relieve toothaches. The acid can also be used
to fight termites. In order to make the cashew seed edible, it's typically roasted to neutralize the acid -- but roasters urge caution,
because the smoke that comes off the acid is itself toxic. Prior to becoming the rich beige we're familiar with, the seed itself is green
as seen above."
