Bob's Red Mill Low Fat Soy Flour
What it is
This is a finely ground flour made from defatted soybeans. The process of removing most of the oil results in a lighter colored flour with a milder flavor compared to full-fat soy flour. This flour is a good option for those looking to reduce fat in their baked goods or other recipes.
How people cook with it
It is often used in combination with other flours.
- Baking breads
- Making pancakes
- Thickening sauces
- Adding to muffins
When using low fat soy flour in baking, it is typically combined with other flours like wheat flour. Because it absorbs liquid differently, you may need to adjust the amount of liquid in your recipe. Start by substituting a small percentage of the total flour, perhaps 10-25%, and observe the texture and moisture. It can also be used as a binder in meatloaf or as a thickening agent in gravies and soups, whisking it into cold liquid before adding to hot mixtures to prevent lumps.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to regular soy flour, this low-fat version has a less pronounced soy flavor and a lighter color. It also contains less fat, which can affect the texture and richness of baked goods.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the remaining low fat soy flour in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Keeping it away from direct sunlight and moisture will help preserve its quality. It is best to use it within the recommended shelf life for optimal flavor and performance in recipes.
