Whether you follow a plant-based diet, are lactose-free, or simply want to diversify your eating habits, soy products have become a staple in many kitchens. The selection is vast, ranging from soy drinks to edamame. But how do you choose a product that truly suits you, without falling into common marketing traps?
As a Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, I see consumers struggle daily with unclear labels and misleading claims. Before you fill your shopping cart, it's wise to be aware of a few common pitfalls.
By paying attention to these points, you can make a choice that not only feels right but is genuinely good for you and your dishes.
You don't need to be a nutritionist to make the right choice. Just look for a few key specifications on the packaging. This will help you distinguish quality from marketing.
The rule is simple: the shorter the ingredient list, the better. For pure flavour and nutritional value, look for products where soybeans are listed first.
The percentage of soybeans directly impacts the flavour and protein content. A higher percentage (e.g., 8% or more in a soy drink) often indicates a richer, creamier product. Brands that specify the origin of their soy (e.g., "non-GMO" or "sustainably grown") demonstrate extra care for their product.
Not every soy product is suitable for every purpose. Consider what you plan to use it for:
Based on these criteria, we have selected several products that cater to different needs and preferences.

With only 6 ingredients and no artificial additives, this product avoids the trap of unnecessary fillers. The flavour comes from traditional fermentation, not from added flavour enhancers.
The high amino acid nitrogen content (≥1.0g/100mL) is an objective indicator of superior quality and deep flavour, which is essential for authentic dishes.
The right soy product can elevate your meals and drinks. Whether you're looking for more vegan groceries or other plant-based dairy alternatives, there's always a product that meets your needs.
In practice, these terms are often used interchangeably. According to EU regulations, the term "milk" can officially only be used for animal products. That's why you'll usually see "soy drink" on packaging. Functionally, most people mean the same thing by both terms: a plant-based beverage made from soybeans.
A varied diet is always recommended. Soy drink can be an excellent part of it, especially if you choose an unsweetened version fortified with calcium and vitamins. As with everything, balance is key.
It's easier than you think. Soak the dried soybeans (like the Fangjia Puzi Organic Soybeans) in water overnight. Drain the soaking water, rinse the beans, and blend them in a blender with fresh water (a ratio of about 1 part beans to 3-4 parts water). Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth or fine-mesh sieve and bring the liquid to a boil. Let it simmer gently for a few minutes, and your homemade soy milk is ready.
