why so expensive my supermarket has this for less than $5

Basically, supply, demand and availability. You might also consider what your supermarket charges to deliver.

What is the shelf life?

Got mine in 3/21. Best use by date was 3/22. I have kept it longer than a year before and it was fine

Is this soy granules?

Yes, this is a soy product. When reconstituted, the consistency is like finely chopped up cooked hamburger.

Can this be used to make soy curls?

Hi. The TVP is NOT used for Soy Curl recipes; rather you want BUTLER Soy Curls. They are worth every penny and delicious when used per instructions. TVP was "fine" as a ground beef substitute, but honestly I only bought it once. https://www.amazon.com/BUTLER-FOODS-Soy-Curls-OZ
