Soy grits are toasted, cracked soybeans that are usually the size of tiny flakes, although sometimes you will find them as big as pieces of cracked wheat. Like soy flour, they may be made using the whole soybean or may have the fat removed.
Storing Soy Grits
Packages of soy grits, sometimes sold in the breakfast foods section of natural foods stores, may be stored on the shelf before cooking.
Cooking Basics
Cooking time for soy grits will vary according to the size of the grind; larger grits take more time to cook and require more water. The more commonly available small flake size takes twice as much water as grits and needs to simmer, covered, about fifteen minutes after coming to a boil. Larger sizes may use up to three or four times their volume in water and may need to cook for as long as an hour.
