Guest guest Posted April 23, 1999 Report Share Posted April 23, 1999 Karen: The following definition of soy flour (from www.soyfoods.com) makes it sound as if soy flour and soy powder at the same thing. This is different from soy protein which is often found used as a supplement. SOY FLOUR is made from roasted soybeans ground into a fine powder. There are three kinds of soy flour available: Natural or full-fat, which contains the natural oils found in the soybean; Defatted, which has the oils removed during processing; Lecithinated, which has had lecithin added to it. All soy flour gives a protein boost to recipes. However, defatted soy flour is an even more concentrated source of protein than full-fat soy flour. Although used mainly by the food industry, soy flour can be found in natural foods stores and some supermarkets. Soy flour is gluten-free so yeast-raised breads made with soy flour are more dense in texture. Replace 1/4 to 1/3 the flour with soy flour in recipes for muffins, cakes, cookies, pancakes and quick breads.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 1999 Report Share Posted April 23, 1999 Karen: You know, I'm not entirely sure myself! I *think* that, possibly, soy powder is dry soy milk mix that you add water to and reconstitute into soy milk. It is usually called " soy milk powder " or, as on my can of " Soyagen " , " soy beverage powder " . Do you think they could just be calling it " soy powder " for short? Do ya think?
