Wholefood Earth - Organic Soya Beans, 3 kg

Good quality

👍

Purchased to make Japanese Natto. First bag was fine but the second had more broken beans and for Natto it is better for appearance if the beans are whole. Taste still as good. If you are making other dishes it may not matter so much.

I wouldn't be put off by the photos of seemingly poor quality soya beans. The ones I got in my 1KG packet were pretty much perfect, maybe 0.1% were slightly brown. Anyway, I soak these overnight with a pinch of salt and a squirt of Apply Cider Vinegar. I then pressure cook them for 1-2 hours and they come out deliciously plump, healthy and soft. Beans are pretty tasteless in general, so I add soy sauce, some tomato and red pepper paste, and garlic. You can add the garlic to the water in the pressure cooker with a bit of oil too. The reason I eat soya beans is because I am a vegetarian and the protein content is so high at 40%. The high fibre is also good for the gut. I would prefer less carbs and higher fat being on the Keto diet, but it's a necessary sacrifice, as I'd like to get some beans in my diet, in addition to the staples of egg, fish and low-fat cheese. Highly recommend these soya beans. You can also fry them after soaking - they will be harder and slightly burnt, but it's quicker. I prefer pressure cooking as it preserves their appearance, and is possibly healthier.

I toast soybeans in a pan without any oil or with some oil if you want something to accompany with your popcorns, it does not matter as the texture of this soybeans is crunchiest yet softest. There's no need to soak soybeans for however long fry them or bake them whatever to enjoy it as a crunchy snack. If you want toasted soya beans simply chuck them in a hot pan and stir it continously for few minutes to cook it evenly until it turns slightly darkbrown on all sides and its skin starts to crack open let it cool and enjoy, dont let it get too dark to avoid burnt taste. Or just heat some oil in a pan chuck the soybeans in stir it for few mins the skin will crack open and the soybeans will turn into a nice golden brown let it cool and enjoy. Always let it cool down for 4 or 5 minutes to get the crunchy texture. Salt it if you prefer. If your soybeans arent crunchy you havent cooked it enough if your soybeans are bitter you cooked it too much. It should be just right you'll kniw it when you taste it. Enjoy.

Too expensive.

Very pleased with these beans. Have made milk and yogurt with very good results. The resulting pulp (okara) can be frozen and used to make soya burgers. Do not eat okara raw.

I'm not soya bean aficionado but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at this when we received it. We paid £9.85 for 3kg and boy is it a massive, heavy bag. I've put a small bottle of milk next to it so you can really get an idea of the scale. A lot of people are saying their beans were chipped and some looked to be bad quality. Sure some beans have cracks and splits but given the scale and quantity, I'm really not surprised. I tried to get a picture of the beans inside to give you an idea of the colour but the picture came out quite dark even with the flash on. What I would say is the beans look very consistent in colour with each other. My wife is using these in a soya milk maker and I think we're going to save so much money buying these. This will probably last us a few months! Hope this helps!

Great soybeans for homemade soy milk. Using my soy milk maker, the result is smooth with no beany taste, which really surprised me. Fresh flavour, consistent quality, and the price is very affordable. Excellent value.

Ich habe schon mehrmals Tofu aus diesen Sojabohnen gemacht. Er ist köstlich. Aus 300 Gramm getrockneten Sojabohnen habe ich 310 Gramm Tofu gewonnen. Selbstgemachter Tofu, reich an pflanzlichem Eiweiß, ist fantastisch.
