Which golden bean is a complete protein with all 9 essential amino acids?
- The humble soybean.
- Back to soybeans and their superpowers. Of myriad legumes on the planet, this golden bean is a complete protein thanks to those 9 essential amino acids. Should the winning question in a pub quiz be, "Which three plants are classified as complete proteins?" you can victoriously yell, soybeans, quinoa, and buckwheat (a non-wheat). And they're gluten-free. But the star of our start-up IS the soybean, so when you're opting into happy soy-based food know that you're not missing out on quality sources of protein. Or calcium. Ah, yes, here we go again with the facts. A stream of sweet cow images assures us that dairy products are the holy grail for calcium - but what is a worthy plant source? Buzzer! If you want to be grand champion of the quiz circuit then the answer is .. soybeans. Tofu! Tofu made from soybeans and set with calcium sulphate is your strong bones bonanza.
- Did you also know that SOYOYOY's UNFETA'D has 18% of your daily calcium needs per serve? Then what happens when you eat an entire jar? (it's 'bean' known to happen).
- And SOYOYOY also makes these products happen : award-winning, creamy tofu* AND traditional, preservative-free soymilk, earthy tempeh, premium plant-based cheeses (Unfeta'd and Brie'zy), decadent chocolate mousse*, and okara (protein-packed, fibre-rich ground soy). To achieve optimal richness in SOYOYOY products the soymilk's made daily by grinding Australian certified organic soybeans with UV filtered Tasmanian water . . . creating delicate, creamy characteristics that soymilk and our tofu is traditionally coveted for. Characteristics noted by some of Tasmania's best restaurants, retailers and you. Thankyou!
- *Big deal from our first year Royal Hobart Fine Foods Award 2019 SOYOYOY Tofu awarded Silver. Chocolate Mousse awarded Bronze.
- Guided by the philosophy and tradition of slow-food, SOYOYOY sources high protein soybeans from a future-friendly mill that rotates co-operative farms to maintain fertile soil for nutrient-rich crops. Farms that meet the best criteria for producing said Golden Bean. (Australian Certified Organic certificate 41).
- Oh, yes, SOYOYOY is James Phelps (tofu maestro) and Loz Abberton (cheeses mistress). Find James every Sunday at Farm Gate Market in Hobart where samples of Unfeta'd and Brie'zy are freely offered, along with swapping of tales and cheer from the week.
