soy flour
This finely ground flour is made from soybeans and, unlike many flours,
is very high in protein (*twice that of wheat flour*) and low in
carbohydrates. Soy flour is ordinarily mixed with other flours rather
than being used alone. It has a wide variety of uses such as for baking
and to bind sauces. In Japan, it's very popular for making confections.
Soy flour is sold in health-food stores - sometimes under the name
kinako - and in some supermarkets.

Bobs has a number of soy products, and recipes. We use many of their
products and find them to be terrific.

soy beans
soy flour
soy flour (lowfat)
soy grits
soy protein powder

"Back in the day," which would be about a year and a half ago, I used
to make deliveries to different places and the receiver at one of them
was a big fan of soy milk. She said I ought to try it some time but I
could never bring myself to do it. It's probably better nutritionally,
but regular old 2% cow milk is the stuff I'm used to. She liked tea,
too. And Diet Dr. Pepper.

Hey! What's wrong with Diet Dr. Pepper????? I also like tea (and
coffee), but wouldn't touch soy "milk" with a 50' pole.

I like soy many ways. I adore the Silk brand soymilk eggnog. But that is
the only soymilk product I'd ever tried before this week. I thought I'd
give plain, unsweetened soymilk a try for my ritual hot cocoa after a
long night at work and before bed in the AM. OHMYGAWD... that stuff was
NASTY!!!! I'm still swooning. I would have thunk the cocoa and
sweetener would have covered any off flavor but it certainly didn't.
I will stick with my skim milk, which is all I've ever used for drinking
purposes.

I get soymilk sometimes, but I don't use it as a substitute for dairy milk.
The two main ways I have it are (1) as a Chinese-style breakfast, hot, with
a few scallion rings and a few drops of sesame oil, and (2) in a
chicken-sunchoke soup.

I recently tried soy milk for the first time and must say that it
probably tastes better than ceramic slip, but I can't guess how much
better. I imagine it has the mouth feel of slip, too.

It was the Silk brand plain soy milk. I am at this time loathe (and half
afraid) to try the vanilla or chocolate flavored drinks. Perhaps the
other brands are superior in taste and texture. Still, somehow, I can't
whomp up the motivation to find out.

Well, see...here's the thing..I was introduced to the Silk Soy Eggnog a
couple of years ago by a demonstrator at the commissary. It was
FABULOUS! I was excited to think of an "eggnog" that wasn't a heart
attack in the making, y'know?
I just never expected the plain soymilk to taste soooooo bad. I shiver
to think of how bad it was. Blechhh.

FBS says that 8th Continent brand has the best taste....I dunno, I'm still
stuck on trying to make Lactaid taste good.

My wife had just been to the allergists for another round of tests and has
been advised not to eat soy. Do you have any idea how hard it is to avoid
soy in things these days? It is is just about everything.
