Well! This is the first time I am hearing about soy chunks.

It surely looks very appetizing---at least the photo above.

So where do you buy that stuff---Indian store, Bangladeshi store, West Indian store ? Where ?

Rev

I buy it from the neighborhood supermarket. You can also get from Chinese, West Indian outlets, and Indian vegetable markets.

Soy comes in a thousand different format and can be flavored in tens of thousands of ways. You can also make it from regular soy beans or soy milk as my Chinese neighbor informed me and promised to show me how.

Being one hundred percent vegetarian, we use soy chunks in quite a few dishes. We first soak it then cook it to replace meat. Bora and chunks with potatoes, chunks bhunjay with masala, Chunks with Eggplant etc. We also use Tofu in a lot of our meals.

My children love it and will never think about eating meat, fish or eggs for ethical reasons. I am in no way imposing my lifestyle on others but being vegetarian has been a very healthy choice for us.

Go chunks !

Good Jesus Lord! You don't eat sushi yuji ?

A life without quality sushi is empty, meaningless and barren.lol

But seriously, the Rev is into healthy eating these days---I'll have to try out that soy.

I also found about about Haagen Dazs Salted Caramel ice cream this weeks---poster riya mentioned it---so I'll have to check that out.

SOY + SALTED CARAMEL ICE CREAM = JOY + HAPPINESS

We buy Bedesse brand chunks at West Indian stores. We use it on a daily basis to replace meat since the entire family is vegetarians. You just soak it, bhunjay it with the masala and cook it the same way you would cook meat with vegetables Guyanese style. It is very healthy.

My wife buys the dark colored type, there is also a lighter colored type of chunks. Go Chunks and go nuts cooking it.

Muchas gracias yuji bhai!

I love dhall and rice and okra---dhall and rice and spinach---dhall and rice and karila.

I'll definitely check out that SOY chunk.

Rev

Tofu is another great choice for veggie lovers. 

I've had the dried soy chunks from Bedesee. It taste good when you cook it but the damm thing look like kibble and bits in the bag. 

In laboratory studies, animal studies, and research looking at groups of people and what they eat, certain chemical components of soy have been linked to a lower risk of breast and prostate cancer. Randomized clinical trials are needed to understand how these findings apply to cancer prevention in humans. Most studies that have shown benefit have used whole soy protein rather than soy components and extracts.

Rev

I guarantee the benefit of soy chunks with outweighs any side effects. Come out and venture in Queens.
