Soy Milk
Soy milk is a plant-based beverage made from soaking, grinding, and boiling soybeans. Originating in East Asia, it has been consumed for centuries, particularly in China. Its flavor is mild and slightly nutty, with a subtle sweetness that varies depending on the brand and whether it is sweetened. The texture is smooth and creamy, often comparable to dairy milk, though it can sometimes have a slightly grainy or beany aftertaste if not processed well. Soy milk performs well in cooking and baking, as it can froth like dairy milk for lattes, and its high protein content helps provide structure in recipes. It is a versatile ingredient that can be used in everything from smoothies to soups.
