Preparation Tips

Soya beans require a bit more preparation than smaller legumes, but the effort is worth the result:

1. Soaking: Rinse the beans thoroughly and soak them in plenty of water for at least 8–12 hours (or overnight). This softens the beans and helps ensure even cooking. Drain and rinse well before proceeding.

2. Cooking: Place the soaked beans in a large pot and cover with fresh water (use about 3 parts water to 1 part beans). Bring to a boil, skim off any foam that rises to the surface, then reduce heat to a low simmer.

3. Simmer Time: Cover and cook for 1.5 to 2.5 hours, or until the beans are tender. Cooking time can vary depending on the freshness of the beans, so start checking for tenderness around the 90-minute mark.

4. Pro Tip: If you are using these for soy milk or tofu making, be sure to cook them thoroughly until they are very soft to ensure the best flavour and texture. Once cooked, these beans can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for future use in soups and stews.
