About Soybean flour

Soybean flour is a ground soy ingredient used in baking, thickening and prepared foods. It may be used alone in some recipes or combined with cereal flours; its flavour and functional properties vary with the beans and processing.

It is usually a fine, cream-to-yellow powder with a mild to distinctly beany taste. Whole-bean, full-fat flour differs from defatted flour, and heat-treated forms also exist. Because these forms differ in fat content and processing, the name alone does not establish a single nutritional or culinary profile.

Nutrition comparisons should distinguish full-fat from defatted flour and account for heat treatment. The terms soybean flour and soya flour are often used for the same broad ingredient, but a product’s processing still matters.
