Guest guest Posted August 16, 2000 Report Share Posted August 16, 2000 Hi: I have recently discovered something called " Just Soy Nuts " , made by Just Nuts in California. They have 130 calories per serving, and according to the label no fat or sodium. The ingredients list says " just dry roasted soybeans, nothing else. " I am finding them addictive, but they are expensive, around $8.oo/#. Does anyone have any idea how to make them. I don't know if they are made from fresh or dried beans, and whether they are soaked, boiled or both before roasting.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2000 Report Share Posted August 17, 2000 Dear Ruth, While shopping one day I picked up this pamphlet about The Organic Garden. Come to find out it was a company name. They have products called " SoyNutty Crunchies " (they have three varieties: Lightly Salted, Chocolate Carousel and Unsalted). I have not tried it out yet, but maybe you could try them? I do not know if this is helpful, or not, but maybe it is cheaper than those " Just Soy Nuts " that you buy. Anyway, they have a website if you are interested [here is the address: www.theorganicgardenfood.com].

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Whole soy must be cooked, whether frozen, dried or fresh (there is a toxin there) If you have differcult digesting the soy. The raw food coach likes miso since it is fermented, not cooked. the same is with the soy tempeh both types have B12. Uncooked fermented foods are better for digestion. Next time I see her I will ask her if she will answer questions over the web. All sprouts including soy sprouts can be eated raw. At the sprouting farm, where I used to work, do not sprout soy because it is available cheaply at the Chinese markets, but they sell spouting soy seeds and distribute nutrition sheets showing that they enhance strong bones, good memory..and more protein than meat and other plants. Their fact sheets shows that the sprouts have more nutrition and more digestible the the adult plant or seed (nuts, peas also). jennysilliman wrote:Rich Sachs wrote: >I only eat foods in their natural produce form and I've [not] seen a soybean for sale that way.

Are they any good? Are they hard to sprout? -- I have been eating sprouted soybeans RAW for years. No toxins or negatives in Raw soybean SPROUTS. There's real easy to sprout. Soak overnight and drain in the morning. rinse twice daily until the tail is as long as the bean. Then eat them RAW. - > I have seen soybeans for sale, not fresh picked, but frozen, at the > health food store. They look like lima beans. They have a funny name like > " epatame " or something like that - Soy beans should be labeled soy, and they don't look like lima beans. The soy bean look more like a small white bean but just a bit more elongated than round. They are abvailable in the bulk section in every saupermarket in this city [Victoria. B.C.] but I buy then pre bagged from a health food store. These are labeled non GMO but you never know because the cross pollination of this particular bean is widespread. rusty - " Howard Huey " <huey_htm <rawfood > Monday, February 09, 2004 6:28 PM Re: [Raw Food] Soybeans > Whole soy must be cooked, whether frozen, dried or fresh (there is a toxin there) > If you have differcult digesting the soy.
