Think soy for a healthy dietKansas Soyfoods can easily be added to home recipes to help consumers include soy in their daily diet. Since 1999, the Food and Drug Administration has encouraged consumers to include 25 grams of soy protein in their daily diet to help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Soy flour, soy milk, tofu, soy beans and edamame are just a few of the soyfoods readily available for consumers to select from when shopping. Soy flour is one of the easiest soyfoods to use. Sift together 7 cups all-purpose flour and 1 cup soy flour. Use this blend whenever a recipes calls for all-purpose flour. Soy flour is 50 percent protein and gives recipes a nutritional boost as well as adding the health benefits from soy to your diet. Soymilk is readily available for consumers in most grocery stores. Look for it in the natural foods section in the refrigerated case or on the store shelf in an aseptic package. Soymilk can be used in almost any recipe using cow's milk. Soymilk is available plain, vanilla, chocolate or strawberry. Try using vanilla soymilk at breakfast on cereal. Smoothies are a popular drink. A recipe for Strawberry Smoothie is a great nutritional beverage and includes two soyfoods, soymilk and tofu. This creamy smoothie is only 124 calories a serving. Tofu provides the rich smooth texture. Tofu can be found in the produce section of the grocery store. The soft variety easily blends with other ingredients. Drain off any liquid in the package before using. Visit www.kanassoybeans.org for more recipes and information or contact the Kansas Soybean Commission, 2930 SW Wanamaker Drive, Topeka, KS 66614.
