Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / November 2003soy flour?
Can you buy soy flour retail? I haven't been able to find it. I'd like to start substituting some of the regular flour with soy in my recipes... det Hodgeson Mills makes some. I find it in the grocery store in the baking section. It is okay but not in large quantities. It does not bake like ordinary flour. j > Can you buy soy flour retail? I haven't been able to find it.

My husband works for Albertsons and brings home anything that even resembles Low carb as soon as he gets it in. So far, that's the only place I've found soy flour where I am. I have checked all over Wal Mart and can't find any. You might have to go to a health food store or a specialized low carb store, but it's out there. You might also try a regular grocery store and get them to special order it for you. Odds are that their warehouse has it, but there hasn't been enough of a demand to ship it to all stores. Create the demand and they might start getting it in regularly. I know when I'm looking for something and can't find it, I go to a lot of different stores asking for the same thing and then all of a sudden, a few weeks later, everybody has what I was looking for (of course, that doesn't help me when I needed it, but if you can wait, it might work) Also, it's not a great substitute depending on what you want to use it for. I use it for breading things I'm going to fry or in sausage patties to hold them together, things like that. You still have to use regular flour in most baking recipes, though, but then, every little bit helps. > Can you buy soy flour retail? I haven't been able to find it.

Remember though, that it is best to not substitute too much regular flour with it, as it doesn't have the same consistency or baking quality.

I was told by my doctor that soy is one of the worst things for the thyroid, and I was hypothyroid and soy-staple vegetarian at the time (real vegetarian, not just the "I still eat chicken and fish and call myself one" kind). >Can you buy soy flour retail?

My sister uses her oven to store her cookbooks :) I use to bake Christmas cookies each year when the kids lived at home and swore I would never bake again after they left home. I think I've kept that promise! Beverly det, hudson mills carried it the last time i checked. have you thought about using some of the NUT flours instead?

You can't just substitute one of the other. Do a bit of research about it before you try it. Save you some hassles. Pastorio > > Can you buy soy flour retail? I haven't been able to find it.

I have a suspicion though that your dietary efforts at getting protein are misdirected. i >> > Can you buy soy flour retail? I haven't been able to find it.

When I use soya powder to replace half the flour in a traditional recipe, I also add tablespoon or two of gluten and 1/2 to 1 tsp of xanthan gum to help replace some of the properties of wheat flour that hold air bubbles in the mix and make it stick together. I also have tried some CarboLite bake mix as pancake mix, which is made of a soy protein isolate, with a little vanilla and Splenda. Despite being mostly soy, this particular product doesn't have a soy-blech taste. I use the recipe on the cannister (but adding some baking powder), for LC pancakes, and they come out quite nice. I didn't like the cookie recipe on the cannister at all, though. A couple of other soy protein powders that I tried in the past (because they are usually cheaper than whey or egg protein) did taste about as nasty as soy flour, and I have no idea what makes the CarboLite soy bake mix not taste horrible. Another mostly-soy product that I've recommended recently is the Bella Vita lowcarb pasta. IMO, it tastes more like regular pasta than whole wheat pasta does. The only problem I've had with it is that it needs to cook 5 to 8 minutes longer (depending on shape) than the package says, to not be overly chewy. It's a rather ugly brown in the box, but lightens up considerably while cooking. We also found it to be a lot more dense and filling than ordinary pasta. A serving (one cup dry) of the rotini lists 18g carb of which 8g is fiber, 28g protein, and 1g fat.
