Webinar: Spotlighting Soybeans in Food: Challenges and Opportunities

Karl Weingartner, March 14, 2012

The soybean is often touted as the miracle bean, as an agricultural crop and as a food source. But did you know that you can use soy in baking, for egg or milk replacement and as a meat analog? In this program, Dr. Karl Weingartner, Adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Director of the International Soybean Program (INTSOY) for the National Soybean Research Laboratory (NSRL) will discuss soybeans status as an extremely versatile food and highly nutritious source of protein. He will discuss how the protein in soybeans compares to peanuts, beans, fish and meat.

Registration for this webinar is available through the Soyatech website HERE.
