soy protein

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'vegan staple' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'rye among options prepared' is the wordplay.
'among' says to put letters next to each other.
'prepared' is an anagram indicator.
'rye'+'options'='ryeoptions'
'ryeoptions' anagrammed gives 'SOY PROTEIN'.

'as' is the link.
