About Soya bean skin

Soya bean skin, also known as tofu skin or yuba, is a nutrient-rich product derived from boiling soy milk. As the soy milk heats, a thin film forms on the surface, which is carefully lifted and dried to create this versatile ingredient. Originating from East Asian cuisines, particularly Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, soya bean skin is prized for its chewy texture and ability to absorb flavors. It is a great source of plant-based protein, low in carbohydrates, and contains essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals such as calcium and iron. Its low-fat content makes it an ideal choice for heart-healthy diets. However, it’s important to monitor sodium levels if prepared with salty sauces. Soya bean skin is gluten-free and vegan-friendly, making it a popular option for many dietary lifestyles. Easy to incorporate into stir-fries, soups, and wraps, it is both nutritious and versatile.
