With their nutritional benefits and diverse applications, soybeans have become a staple crop globally.

Soybean oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of soybeans. It is one of the most widely used cooking oils due to its neutral flavor, high smoke point, and versatility in various culinary applications. Soybean oil is rich in polyunsaturated fats, particularly omega-6 fatty acids, which are essential for the body’s overall health. It also contains vitamin E, phytosterols, and antioxidants that contribute to its potential health benefits. This oil is commonly used in frying, baking, salad dressings, and as a base for margarine and mayonnaise. Additionally, it is utilized in the production of biodiesel and as a feedstock for various industrial applications.

The organic soy flour is obtained from roasted soybeans from organic farming. The light-colored soy flour is naturally lactose-free and has a very high fiber content. The high protein content makes soy flour also popular in vegan cuisine. As an egg substitute, mix 2 tablespoons of water with 1 tablespoon of organic soy flour. This makes vegan cakes successful, as long as it is not a recipe with a especially high egg content. When baking, about 20% of the cereal flour specified in the recipe can be replaced by the organic soy flour.  This product is a controlled organic food according to DE-ÖKO-006.
