Questions about Soymilk
Can you use soymilk instead of cow’s milk in cooking?
Usually, yes: use it measure for measure in porridge, pancakes, sauces and baking. For savoury dishes, choose an unsweetened version; sweetened or vanilla soymilk can make the result taste odd.
Does soymilk split when you heat it?
It can curdle if you boil it hard or add it abruptly to an acidic sauce. Warm it gently, then stir it in gradually; for coffee, pouring the coffee into warmed soymilk can help prevent splitting.
Can you make a latte with soymilk?
Yes. Barista-style soymilk is made to foam more reliably; heat it until steaming, rather than boiling, and froth it just before pouring. A very acidic coffee can still make it separate.
How should you store soymilk after opening?
Keep it covered in the fridge and use it within the time stated on the carton, which is often a few days. Shelf-stable cartons can stay in a cool cupboard before opening, but need refrigeration afterwards.
What is the difference between soymilk and other plant milks?
Soymilk is made from soya beans and generally has more protein than rice or oat drinks. Its flavour is more beany, so an unsweetened version works well in savoury cooking, while sweetened versions suit drinks and cereal.
Can you make soymilk at home?
Yes: soak dried soya beans overnight, drain and blend with fresh water, then simmer the mixture for about 20 minutes, stirring to stop it catching. Strain it through a fine cloth; homemade soymilk needs refrigerating and is best used within a few days.
How much protein does soymilk provide?
A glass of about 240 g provides 7.1 g of protein. Amounts differ between products, so compare cartons if protein is a particular priority.
Is soymilk a source of vitamin B12?
This soymilk provides 1.1 µg of vitamin B12 per 100 g. Many plant drinks are fortified, but fortification is not universal, so check the ingredients and nutrition information on the carton.
