Soymilk

It is a rich-creamy milk made of whole soybeans.

Process
Soymilk is made from skinned soybeans. In order to remove any kind of impurities and fiber, soybeans are simmered and ground into water then strained. The liquid obtained is boiled but only for a few minutes so the vitamins are not destroyed.
The nutrient-rich beige liquid obtained is the soymilk.

Storage
Not opened, a soymilk brik can be stored at room temperature for several months. Once opened it must be refrigerated and drunk within the next few days

Nutritional values
