How long can soybeans be stored?
If dry and kept in a water proof container, up to a year.
*** According to the USAID website the beans will be good for a longer period if adequate storage ( as mentioned dry/waterproof) The only difference is a longer cooking time which would need to be adjusted as cooked
How many bushells to one ton of soy bean?
A US ton is a unit of weight, and is much heavier than a bushel of anything.
A bushel is a volume measurement approximately equal to 1.2445 cubic feet or 0.035 m3.
However, given a standard moisture content, a US bushel of soybeans is assigned a weight of 60 pounds
(27.2 kg).
That would make 33 1/3 bushels of soybeans in a US ton. (2000 lb.)
Where does tofu originate from?
Tofu is a food of Chinese origin, made by coagulating soy milk (which is derived from soy beans), and then pressing the resulting curds into blocks. It's an excellent source of protein, which is why many vegetarians eat tofu instead of meat.
Grocery stores have it, refrigerated. Some keep it in the produce section, others place it in the health food section.
There are two main varieties of tofu common in the U.S. One is the refrigerated version that is cut into blocks after it coagulates and is then packaged in water. The other type is coagulated in aseptic packages and doesn't need refrigeration until after it is opened. MoriNu is a common brand name for the latter type. Each type comes in varying degrees of firmness.
Is is good to eat tofu after the expiration date?
no it definitely isn't! I would only allow a day or two.
What is the yield per hectare of soya beans?
The top 20 countries have a yield of over 37 bushels (of 60 pounds each) per acre, or 2.3 tonnes per hectare.
The U.S. average yield for 2010 was 46.6 bushels/acre or 2.9 tonnes/hectare.
The best country, Turkey, produced an average of 58.7 bushels/acre or 3.7 tonnes/hectare.
The record belongs to a farmer in Missouri who produced an average of 100 bushels/acre over a 300 acres plantation in 2010, and reached 160 bushels/acre on a specially irrigated field.
Roughly 50, but it depends on the variety and environmental factors
What organism is used to convert soybean to soy sauce?
Fermenting agents
The wheat-soy mixture is exposed to specific strains of mold called Aspergillus oryzae or Aspergillus soyae, which break down the proteins in the mash. Further fermentation occurs through addition of specific
bacteria(lactobaccillus) and yeasts which enzymatically react with the protein residues to produce a number of amino acids and peptides, including glutamic and aspartic acid, lysine, alanine, glycine, and tryptophane. These protein derivatives all contribute flavor to the end product.
How many gallons of soybean oil equals 35 pounds?
You need the density of the oil (0.918 g/mL for olive oil) to do this. Using the factor-label conversion method:
35 lbs x 2.2 kg/1 lb x 1000g/1 kg x 1 mL/0.918g x 1 L/1000 mL x 0.264 gal/1 L = 22.14 gallons
Is soy milk good for your bones?
Soy milk in its un-fortified state does not contain calcium and therefore does not provide your body, therefore bones with this vital element. Soy milk is technically not milk, but a plant based liquid/beverage made from soybeans. Milk is a strong source of calcium and is fortified with Vitamin D to help with calcium absorption. Therefore, if purchasing soy "milk", read what has been fortified/added. Soy milk is good for those who are lactose intolerant and could help people reduce the risk of heart disease because of chemicals that can reduce the "bad" LDL cholesterol.
How much protein does 400 grams tofu have?
4 grams of firm tofu yield about 1.68 calories, 1.36 calories from fat and 0.32 calories from proteins. Softer tofu contains more water and has less calories.
Sugar content is negligible.
AnswerTofu is a protein-rich food that is low in calories and fat.
For example, about 1/4 cup of tofu has about 5 grams of protein and about 45 calories. That same amount will have 2-3 grams of fat (non-saturated) and no cholesterol, as tofu is made from soy beans.
Tofu is easy to digest and is also a good source of calcium.
Although some people don't like it, it is a healthy food!
I hope that is what you needed!
How much does a drum of soybean oil cost?
A drum of soybean oil has different costs in different geographical locations. There are places whereby it costs about $4.50 per gallon whereas there are areas whereby it costs $155 per barrel.
yes it does. soy beans produce a seed that complies with the ones found in the tree nut allergy. if allergic i suggest you stay away!!!
What is the relationship between the rhizobium and soybean plants?
Yes, a bacterium known as rhizobium lives inside special nodules on the roots of soybeans and other legumes. Rhizobium is able to take gaseous nitrogen from the atmosphere and turn it into an organic form, which can be use by the plant. The bacteria gets a safe place to live inside the plant and the plant gets nitrogen from the bacteria.
Is soybean oil a carbohydrate or fat?
Soybean oil is a vegetable-derived polyunsaturated fat. Fats are oils produced either by animals or plants. Examples of animal fats: butter, cream, lard. Examples of other vegetable or plant-derived fats/oils: Olive oil, peanut oil, palm oil, corn oil, margerine, and coconut oil.
Carbohydrates are found in starchy foods, fruits, vegetables, and sugar. Examples of carbohydrates are beans, breads, potatoes, cake, oranges, apples, peas, squash.
Another component of foods that our bodies require are proteins. Proteins are found in meats, fish, cheese and other dairy products, wheat, and combinations of specific foods when eaten at the same time, such as pasta or rice with beans. These combinations create 'complete' proteins which are also those found in fish, meat and dairy.
Tofu is extremely bland, even freshly made tofu.
It tastes a bit like calcium and magnesium if those have a taste, with hints of soy milk if it is really fresh.
It doesn't improve much after cooking, as the broth does not penetrate tofu.
Fried tofu tastes more like the oil that fried it than something special.
You can try using corn oil for biodiesel. Corn oil is used for cooking and used cooking oil is used for diesel fuel.
Actually, the process of cooking with oil performs the same process on the corn oil as crackling does in an oil refinery. Thus, it would be possible to take corn oil and mix it with petroleum in a refinery and create diesel fuel.
How do you get soybeans to sprout before planting?
If you take a damp paper towel or napkin and put the soybean on it, then fold the paper towel/napkin in half so that the bean is covered, and let it sit for a few days, the bean should sprout.
What towns in Maryland grow soybeans?
The farmers in Maryland grow a variety of crops including tobacco, corn, and soybeans. Some farmers plant their soybeans according to the temperature of the soil instead of a by date on the calendar.
What is the US production of soybeans?
Total U.S. production of soybeans totaled 2.89 billion bushels in 2001, compared to 2.38 billion bushels in 1996.
Some B type blood have allergic reactions to soy and bloat. I am one of them.
Not all soy products are pure and may contain other products within them that your body may react to. Have a food allergy test done ( a good one ).
Wheat flavoring products though natural have allergic reactions such as bloating ( inflammation ).
There are many who are just allergic to soy and bloating is one of the symptoms. Stop it for a while ( at least 3 months ) and see how you feel.
Tofu is made from soy milk which is extracted from soy beans (bean curd). There is no dairy in regular tofu.
