Expeller Pressed Soy Grits

Soy grits are coarsely ground soybeans. The 'expeller pressed' method means the oil was removed using a mechanical press, rather than a solvent. This process yields a less oily product.

Soy grits are used as a protein and fiber source in foods like cereals and baked goods. They can also add texture and a nutty flavor. Manufacturers use them to boost the nutritional profile of products.

Soy grits are considered a whole food ingredient. Soybeans are a source of protein and isoflavones. The FDA has stated that diets rich in soy protein may reduce the risk of heart disease. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated soy and soy-derived products. No specific health concerns are associated with expeller-pressed soy grits when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
