Soy milk is a gentle plant-based drink that has gained wide popularity due to its mild flavor and versatility. Its roots trace back to ancient China, where it was traditionally used as an alternative to cow's milk. Soy milk has a light sweetness and smooth texture, and its preparation involves soaking and grinding the beans, followed by boiling to remove excess bitterness. This drink is perfect for those seeking a plant-based milk alternative and can be used in cooking—from making porridge and smoothies to coffee and baking. With its rich protein content and beneficial amino acids, it is an excellent choice for healthy eating. It is best stored in the refrigerator and consumed within a few days to maintain freshness and flavor richness.
