This is the same soybean as the free sample soybean shipped with the SoyaJoy and SoyaPower soy milk makers. The Laura soy bean is specifically selected for making fresh soy milk. The Non-GMO soybean is Vegan-endorsed, new crop directly from Iowa family farm. New crop is harvested for sale every late Nov. The #1 secret for making great tasting soy milk at your own kitchen is to use new crop soybean. Imported organic soybeans or beans through long distribution channels can be years old and lost significant nutrition and taste. Soybeans can store for up to 10 years, which are still OK for use as feed or making oil, but not good for soy milk! You will find that new crop soybean makes a huge difference in taste and nutrition for homemade soy milk. <p> </p> Please note that due to the fact that we can't resale returned food products, we will not accept returns and issue refund for this product.
