What it is

Soya flour is made from ground soybeans. Soybeans are legumes grown worldwide, commonly used for their oil and protein content. The flour is produced by grinding dried soybeans, sometimes after the oil has been extracted.

Why it's used

Soya flour is used as a protein and fiber enhancer in baked goods, helping to improve texture and moisture. It can also act as an emulsifier, helping to bind oil and water in products like sauces and baked goods. It is commonly found in breads, cakes, cookies, and pasta.

Health notes

Soya flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein and fiber. The WHO/FAO Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated soya flour. Evidence suggests that moderate consumption of soy products may have some benefits for heart health.

Allergen info
