Soy strips, made from defatted soy flour, are a high-protein, plant-based alternative often used in vegetarian and vegan cooking. Originating from the growing demand for meat substitutes, they are popular in cuisines around the world, particularly in Asian, Indian, and fusion styles, where they absorb flavors from spices and sauces. Soy strips are rich in protein, fiber, and essential amino acids, making them a healthy choice for muscle repair and overall nutrition. They are low in fat and cholesterol-free, promoting heart health when consumed as part of a balanced diet. However, some soy products can be highly processed, and it's essential to check for added preservatives or sodium. Versatile and quick to prepare, soy strips can be stir-fried, stewed, or baked into meals, providing a satisfying texture and taste. As with any food, moderation is key to balancing their benefits with an overall diverse diet.
