Difference between regular soybeans and (Laura) soybeans?!
Difference between regular soybeans and (Laura) soybeans?
I want to buy soybeans in bulk to eat raw, in the bean form, for in-between snacks. I found a good deal for Laura soybeans. Can I just grab a handful to eat like regular soybeans? I know that the Laura variety is used for Soymilk and Tofu, I just don't know why.
Answers:
They're just a cultivar (variety) of soybean. If we were talking tomatoes you'd see Laura sold as an heirloom tomato
Without going into my usual long, drawn-out, ridiculously detailed answer
There are two main categories that soybeans get put into depending on how much oil is in the seed. Laura is lower in oil than most of the 'modern' soybeans that farmers grow and that's why it's commonly used for soymilk and tofu. Laura also tends to have a more delicate, less beany flavor than some of the other cultivars.
For home use, as a general rule, the cultivar doesn't matter! Use 'em just like any other soybean you've ever used!!!!

the soymilk companies say that Laura soy beans have less of a beany taste in making soymilk...I don't think eating beans raw is a good thing.
