A kilo of dry soya beans contains more protein than a kilo of beef, at a fraction of the price. It just takes a little know-how. We asked our team for their favourite ways to cook it.

  1. Soya milk: soak overnight, blend with water, strain and simmer for 20 minutes.
  2. Uji: add a spoon of roasted soya flour to maize porridge for a richer, more filling breakfast.
  3. Roasted snack: soak, dry and roast with salt and chilli until crunchy.
  4. Tofu: curdle fresh soya milk with lemon juice and press it overnight.
  5. Stew: boil soaked beans until soft and cook them like any other bean, with tomato, onion and coconut.

Our soya flour is sold in 1 kg bags at shops across the Southern Highlands. Learn more about our soya.
