Suvarna Soyabean is a pack of whole dried soybeans, a protein-rich legume widely used in Indian and Asian kitchens. Soybeans are known for their high protein content compared with most other pulses, and they have a mild, slightly earthy flavour that takes well to spices and marinades. They are a good pantry choice for vegetarian households that want to add variety and substance to everyday cooking. Soybeans are also the base for many familiar foods such as soy milk, tofu, soya chunks and soy flour, so a pack of whole beans opens up plenty of home cooking possibilities.Once soaked and cooked, soybeans can be used in curries, pulao, stir-fries, salads and stews. They can be pressed and blended to make soy milk at home, ground into a coarse paste for patties and cutlets, or cooked with onions, tomatoes and garam masala for a satisfying sabzi. Their firm texture holds up well in slow-cooked dishes and mixed vegetable preparations. Cooked soybeans can also be mashed with spices and gram flour to make crisp vegetarian tikkis.Rinse the soybeans and soak them in plenty of water for at least eight hours or overnight. Drain, rinse again and boil or pressure cook until completely soft, which typically takes longer than most other pulses. Soybeans must always be cooked thoroughly before eating. Discard the soaking water, cook with fresh water and salt, and then add the beans to your chosen recipe.Store the dry soybeans in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from moisture and heat. Please check the label on the pack for the net quantity, packing date and best-before information. Soy is a common allergen, so those with a soy allergy should avoid it. Order Suvarna Soyabean for a filling, high-protein pantry staple.
