Soy milk is a plant based product obtained simply by soaking dry beans and grinding them with water.
Soy milk is a perfect substitute for those who are lactose intolerant and so are unable to digest dairy milk.
Milk extracted from soy beans is high in protein, dietary fiber, minerals and vitamins without the undesired cholesterol.
Soy milk in natural flavor can easily substitute dairy milk in hot beverages.
Soy milk in different flavors makes a healthy and refreshing cold beverage.
Its residue called High Protein Fiber (HPF) can be used in making dishes or easily be added when kneading dough for chappatis.
Soy milk can be set into curd and thus becomes a healthy source of probiotics.
Soy milk can be processed further into tofu by curdling and draining. Tofu is high in protein and can be incorporated in savory snacks.
The soybean plant can be grown easily and being a legume, it replenishes the nitrogen content of the soil in which it is grown making its consumption environment friendly.
The use of a plant based milk in lieu of dairy milk saves millions of cows from abuse by the dairy industry and from being slaughtered on becoming unproductive.
