Soy meat has become a real salvation for poor Asian countries, vegetarians and people with intolerance to animal protein. This product is made from soya flour made from soybeans, which are previously degreased. Then the flour is mixed with water to get a sufficiently viscous dough. This dough is passed through a special machine with nozzles. Passing through narrow holes, the dough becomes fibrous, changes its structure, and becomes like real meat. Pressure and high temperatures cause various biochemical changes in the soy product. Depending on the nozzle used, you can get soy goulash, minced meat or even chop. Then the soy meat is dried and packaged.
