Do You Drink Soy Milk Over Other Milks?
We've all heard the health benefits of soy—it's high in protein as well as B vitamins, and it's cholesterol-free. While the debate in wellness circles rages on, soy milk has become one of the most popular ways to consume soy. The recipe is simple: take dried soybeans, grind them with water, and strain out the solids until you're left with a smooth, drinkable liquid.Taste Test: Store-Bought Tofu
Not all tofu is created equal. Some tofu has a mild, sweet beany flavor and a smooth consistency, while other brands have flavor defects and strange textures. Our Seriously Meatless columnist Michael Natkin took one for the team and tried six brands of firm or extra firm tofu to help you out on your next grocery trip.Seriously Asian: Simmered Soybeans (Nimame)
