We have all seen soy milk in the grocery store and many of us have probably wondered, “what is soy milk really?”. Soy milk is a product hailed by vegetarians and vegans as a a milk substitute. It is used more readily in other countries, often as a meal replacement. So what is soy milk?
Today’s definition comes from cooking.com -
“Soy Milk -
Is made from pressed cooked soybeans. It has a slightly bitter taste so it is often flavored with vanilla, honey or carob. Soy milk is an excellent non-dairy substitution for people with milk allergies and for vegans. However, unlike cow’s milk, it has a tendency to curdle when mixed with acidic foods. Soy milk is high in protein and iron-rich and it is low in calcium, fat, and sodium. It is also cholesterol free.”
