Highly recommended: For those interested in soymilk, newer naturally concentrated products are available with much better flavor than retail soymilk products. Because of a patented, natural concentration process, just 1 Revival Soy bar or shake contains the amount of isoflavones found in 6 cups of a typical soymilk. Learn more. In China and Japan, fresh soymilk is made daily using a simple, centuries-old process of grinding soaked and cooked soybeans and pressing the dissolved soymilk out of the beans. In these countries, soymilk is sold by street vendors or in cafes. It is served hot or cold and is often sweetened for a delightful beverage or flavored with soy sauce, onion and vegetables to produce a spicy soup. A faux soymilk can be made from soy flour, or soybeans. Soymilk is sold in supermarkets, health food stores and specialty food shops. It is most commonly found in aseptic (non-refrigerated) quart and 8-ounce containers, but is also sold refrigerated in plastic quart and half-gallon containers. Unopened, aseptically packaged soymilk can be stored at room temperature for several months. Once it is opened, the soymilk must be refrigerated. It will stay fresh for about 5 days. Soymilk also is sold as a powder, which must be mixed with water. Soymilk powder should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer. Soymilk is available as a plain, unflavored beverage or in a variety of flavors including chocolate, vanilla, carob and almond. With the growing interest in lower-fat products, a number of "lite" soymilks, with reduced fat content, are appearing on the market. Plain, unfortified soymilk is an excellent source of high-quality protein, B-vitamins and iron. Some brands of soymilk are fortified with vitamins and minerals and are good sources of calcium, vitamin D and vitamin B-12. Soymilk is free of the milk sugar lactose and is a good choice for people who are lactose intolerant. Also, it is a good alternative for those who are allergic to cow's milk. Children can enjoy homemade or commercially prepared soymilk after the age of 1 year. Infants under 1 year of age should be fed breast milk, commercially prepared infant formula or commercial soymilk infant formula. Nutrients in 8 ounces of plain soymilk:
Source: product analysis. NOTE: One cup of soymilk contains about 25 milligrams of healthy isoflavones. Because of new research showing greater health benefits with greater isoflavone intake, we recommend Revival Soy shakes and bars. Each Revival Soy shake or bar contains 160 milligrams of soy isoflavones because of a patented natural concentration process. You would have to drink about 6 cups of soymilk to get this level of isoflavones. Learn more. Soymilk can be used in almost any way that cow's milk is used.
