Bloggers, have you written about Soymilk? Add a widget!

Soy milk contains about the same proportion of protein as cow's milk: around 3.5%; also 2% fat, 2.9% carbohydrate, and 0.5% ash. Soy milk can be made at home with traditional kitchen tools or with a soy milk machine. The coagulated protein from soy milk can be made into Tofu, just as dairy milk can be made into cheese.
Soymilk is a milk substitute made from cooked soybeans that are pureed and strained. Soy milk is sweeter, slightly darker than dairy milk, and has a distinct bean-like taste.
