Soybean meal is a high-protein product made from roasted and ground soybeans. It can be used in place of wheat flour in many recipes. There are three types of soybean meal: natural, low-fat, and defatted. Soy flour adds flavor, texture, and moisture to baked goods. Soybean concentrate is a high-protein, high-fiber soy protein concentrate used in baked goods, cereals, and as a filler in meat and poultry products. Soy protein isolate is the soy product with the highest concentration of protein.

Soybean meal is a high-protein product made from roasted and ground soybeans. In addition to protein, it contains soy isoflavones, calcium, iron and B vitamins. Its flavor varies from mild to intense depending on how it is processed. It can be used in place of wheat flour or whole-wheat flour in many recipes.

There are three different types of soybean meal: natural or full fat; Little fat; and degreased. Whole soybean meal retains the natural oils found in soybeans. Low-fat soybean meal has about 33% of the fat in natural soybean meal. The defatted still contains some fat, but is made with defatted soybeans.

In addition to adding protein and nutrients to recipes, soy flour adds flavor, texture and moisture to the finished product. For maximum freshness and shelf life, it should be stored in airtight containers and placed in the refrigerator or freezer. It can typically be stored this way for up to a year.

You may need to reduce cooking times when using soy flour due to its tendency to brown more quickly than other types of flour. Baked goods should be checked to make sure they are not overcooked. Lowering the cooking temperature can also help prevent overcooking. It’s also important to stir the flour before measuring because it tends to clog when stored. Lightly toasting the flour in a dry skillet before using it in recipes is one option to bring out its nutty flavor.

Soybean meal is typically available in health food stores, health food markets, the health foods aisle of major supermarkets, and online. This type of flour is used in many prepared foods such as cakes, donuts, and pies because it improves the taste and prevents some of the fat from being absorbed into the dough during the baking process.

Soybean concentrate is a product obtained by decreasing the amount of carbohydrates and sugars in soybeans that have already been skinned and defatted. This process creates a high-protein, high-fiber soy protein concentrate that is commonly used in baked goods and cereals. It is also used as a filler in meat and poultry products to enhance nutritional value including protein. The soy product with the highest concentration of protein is called soy protein isolate. Most of the fats and carbohydrates contained in this product are removed, resulting in a food that is 90% protein.
