Soymilk

Glycine soja

Soy milk is a famous plant-based alternative to dairy milk. It makes things soft and nicely creamy.

No one fully agrees on the origin of soybeans, or when they started being cultivated. What we know for sure is that it’s been a staple food and medicine in China, Korea and Japan for thousands of years. The plant (Glycine max) belongs to the pea family (Fabaceae) and like all plants of this family, it grows pods that contain a range of seeds, also called beans.

Soy milk is made by boiling the beans in water and straining off the resulting liquid. Every soy product Lush purchases comes from non-GMO beans.
