Is soybean milk made from soybeans

Soybean milk is made from soybeans, and beans such as black beans or green beans can also be added. Soybean milk is rich in high-quality protein, soybean isoflavones, calcium and other nutrients, and is suitable for daily drinks.

The main raw material of soybean milk is soaked soybeans, which are made by processes such as pulping, filtering, boiling, etc. The traditional production method involves soaking soybeans in advance to fully absorb water and soften the beans, making it easier to grind and achieve a delicate texture. Modern technology may use direct grinding of dried beans, but soaked beans have a higher pulp yield. Some regions may add a small amount of black or green beans to adjust the flavor, but the main ingredient is still soybeans.

A few special formula soybean milk will use other beans, such as black soybean milk or chickpea soybean milk. These types of products usually have clear labeling on the packaging indicating differences in raw materials. Black soybean soybean milk has higher anthocyanin content, and chickpea soybean milk has more branched chain amino acids, but its protein content is slightly lower than that of soybean soybean milk. When selecting, attention should be paid to distinguishing the difference between traditional soybean soybean milk and characteristic soybean soybean milk.

When drinking soybean milk, it is recommended to choose sugar free or low sugar products to avoid excessive intake of added sugar. Self made soybean milk should be thoroughly boiled to eliminate trypsin inhibitor, and those with weak gastrointestinal function can be properly diluted for drinking. For lactose intolerant people, soybean milk can replace some dairy products, but it is not suitable to completely replace the nutritional value of milk. Daily drinking should be controlled at 200-300 milliliters per day, and gout patients should limit their intake.
