Textured soy flour contains about 70 percent protein and retains most of the bean's dietary fiber. Soy sauces have a salty taste, but are lower in sodium than traditional table salt. Specific types of soy sauce are shoyu, tamari and teriyaki. Shoyu is a blend of soybeans and wheat. Tamari is made only from soybeans and is a by-product of making miso.
Soy yogurt is made from soy milk.
Its creamy texture makes it an easy substitute for sour cream or cream cheese. Soy yogurt can be found in variety of flavors in natural-food stores. Most soybeans are yellow, but there are brown and black varieties. Whole soybeans that have been soaked can be roasted for snacks and can be purchased in natural-food stores and some supermarkets. When grown without agricultural chemicals, they are referred to as organically grown soybeans.
