Soy milk powder

Soy milk powder is an ingredient made from dehydrated soy milk and presented in the form of a fine powder. It is obtained by grinding and subsequently drying liquid soy milk, which facilitates its preservation and transportation.

Origin: Soy milk comes from the soybean, a legume native to Asia, particularly China and Japan. Its use in food is traditional in these countries and dates back centuries, but its powdered form is a modern innovation that allows for greater practicality and versatility in cooking.

Properties: Soy milk powder is rich in high-quality vegetable proteins, low in saturated fats, and contains no lactose, making it ideal for people with lactose intolerance or those following vegan or vegetarian diets. It is also a source of isoflavones, antioxidant compounds that can provide health benefits. When reconstituted with water, it is used as a direct substitute for liquid milk in various recipes, from beverages to desserts, sauces, and baked goods.

Synonyms in Spanish (Latin America): soy milk powder may also be found under the names leche de soja en polvo, leche soya en polvo, or simply soya en polvo when referring to its use as an ingredient in recipes.
