- Soy foods have grown in popularity as
consumers learn more about associated health
benefits -- soy food sales are expected
to reach $4 billion for 2003. Several studies
have shown that soy products help lower
cholesterol and reduce the severity of menopausal
symptoms, as well as reducing the risk of
certain types of cancer, such as breast
and prostate. Soy products are also a great
way for consumers to get high quality protein
in their diets with less fat and cholesterol
than animal protein.
For consumers who want to add the benefits
of soy to their diet, the good news is that
the wide variety of soy products available
today makes it easy. Crum Creek Mills, a
Springfield, Penn.-based soy foods company,
specializes in making everyday food items
healthier with the addition of soy. No more
trying to figure out how to make tofu palatable
to your family -- they’ll be eating foods
they already like, made healthier with the
addition of soy.
“We focus on products everyone knows and
loves,” says Rich Rothman, general manager.
For example, the company’s soy protein pancake
mix or soy protein muffin mix would be a
great addition to any brunch menu. Choose
from buttermilk or blueberry pancake mix
and from three muffin varieties: Bold Banana
Walnut, Bountiful Blueberry and Brilliant
Bran.
Another easy way to add the benefits of
soy to your meals is to opt for soy protein
pasta as a base for your favorite sauce.
Fast, filling, nutritious and delicious,
these pastas provide between 70 and 90 percent
more protein and up to 20 percent fewer
carbohydrates than regular pastas. Every
2-ounce serving packs 13 grams of protein
and only 36 grams of carbohydrates. This
better balance of protein to carbohydrates
provides the body with consistent energy
over time. Crum Creek has a pasta for every
need -- Passionate Penne, Savory Spaghetti,
Fabulous Fettuccine, Heavenly Angel Hair
and an all-time favorite made healthier,
Marvelous Mac and Cheese.
If you or someone you know is looking for
a fun way to sample a variety of soy foods,
the Soy to the World gift pack is just the
thing. It includes three boxes of soy protein
pasta in assorted shapes; one box of soy
protein macaroni & cheese (the kids will
love it); two packs of Soy Bites Breadstick
Snacks in assorted flavors; one bag of soy
protein muffin mix; one bag of soy protein
pancake mix; one bag of soy nuts; and one
bag of soy nut mix. All this soy goodness
comes attractively packed and can be shipped
directly to friends, family, business associates,
neighbors -- anyone who enjoys good eating
and good health.
