SOYMILK (SOY DRINK AND SOY BEVERAGE)
|
|
Soymilk is a rich creamy liquid obtained by soaking and grinding whole soybeans or hydrating whole, full-fat soy flour. Cooking and filtering the mixture gives the desired product. Commercial soymilk is pasteurized. Soymilk may have a strong taste; however, the intensity of flavour is directly influenced by the method of preparation. Grinding soybeans with boiling water makes the soy taste of the milk lighter. Ideal for people who are lactose intolerant or allergic to cow's milk, soymilk is found on the market in liquid or powder form. Soymilk can be used to prepare soups, sauces, yogurts, ice creams, puddings and pastries. Soymilk is available fresh, however, it is commonly sold in vacuum-packed laminated cardboard containers. Various flavours (of regular, low-fat and non-fat soymilk) are available including plain, vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, carob and almond. |
