Frequently asked questions.
How much protein is in raw defatted soy meal?
Raw defatted soy meal is exceptionally high in protein, containing approximately 47 grams per 100-gram serving. This makes it one of the most potent plant-based protein sources available for muscle growth and repair.
How do I use raw defatted soy meal in cooking?
It is most commonly used as a high-protein additive in baking, such as in breads, muffins, and cookies. It can also be used to fortify smoothies, cereals, or processed into meat substitutes like soy nuggets and textured vegetable protein (TVP).
Is raw defatted soy meal keto-friendly?
With 34g of carbohydrates per 100g, it is not strictly low-carb, but it can be used in moderation on a keto diet due to its massive protein content. It is often used in small amounts to improve the texture of keto-friendly baked goods.
What does raw defatted soy meal taste like?
It has a very mild, slightly nutty, and earthy flavor. Because the fat has been removed, it lacks the richness of full-fat soy products, allowing it to blend easily into recipes without significantly altering the taste profile.
Is raw defatted soy meal vegan?
Yes, it is 100% plant-based. It is a byproduct of the soybean oil extraction process and is a staple ingredient for vegan and vegetarian diets looking to boost protein intake.
How should I store raw defatted soy meal?
Store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and dark place. Because it is defatted, it is less prone to rancidity than full-fat soy flour and can typically last for 6 to 12 months when kept away from moisture.
