Seems like Soy is no longer a 'wonder food', not that I knew it was ever that to begin with.

"The vegetable in the hairy pod is a pretty complicated bean. Native to China and Japan, it is termed the "king of legumes" because it has the most complete protein of any member of the pea family. It is high in calcium, magnesium and vitamin B, and contains estrogen-like chemicals -- isoflavones." Reply to this article / Report this article

Haha! That is the impression I get over here - the overboard American thing!

Soy is hideously tasteless though, right? It's like softened rubber; I don't like it much at all...

    we eat tofu a couple of times a week. A really tasty way of cooking it is to coat it in a mixture of cornflour with salt and pepper (plus chilli if you're brave) then shallow fry it so that it goes crispy and serve with rice and sweet and sour veg - YUM!

      I have had tofu cooked this way and it is pretty good. I've also tried tempeh (gag!) and soy bacon and veggie burgers, which have soy protein in them. I prefer the straight tofu though.
