561.0. "Soy fiber - available retail?" by SQM::AITEL (Helllllllp Mr. Wizard!) Thu May 07 1987 12:09

    I used to bake a lot of bread, but since I've been on my diet I've
    stopped and started eating Less bread.  This contains some soy
    fiber which provides fiber but is not processed and so the bread
    is lower in calories than regular bread.  However, the texture is
    still quite good (as opposed to other low-cal breads which are
    mainly air).
    
    My question is:  is it possible to find this soy fiber on the market
    so that I can try baking bread with it?  Wheat bran is not a good
    substitute since it DOES have calories.  If anyone markets "Less
    flour" that would be great too.

561.1	Better than Less	TALLIS::SLEWIS		`Thu May 07 1987 12:41`	7
	Sorry I can't help with soy fiber-- But do try Bohemian Hearth Fiber bread. It too, is 40 calories/slice, but it far better tasting than Less bread. It has the hearty flavor I like in bread. Letus know if you come up with a recipe for low-cal bread!
561.2	Try a soy dairy	TLE::FAIMAN	Neil Faiman	`Fri May 08 1987 09:54`	9
	If you can find someplace that makes tofu... Tofu is made from soy milk, which is made by cooking and grinding soy beans with water to extract the nutritional parts. What is left over is almost pure soy fiber. (The name "okara" sticks in my mind, but it's been years since I've used it.) In Ann Arbor, the local soy dairy would put out big tubs of okara, and let you help your self. -Neil
561.3	do soy dairys have soy cows?	SQM::AITEL	Helllllllp Mr. Wizard!	`Fri May 08 1987 13:07`	6
	Is the Bohemian Hearth bread available in the Nashua area? I've got about 15 lbs to go, and I'm VERY VERY bored with the bread I'm eating now (though Less just came out with a Brown Bread version which is better than their wheat). --Louise
561.4	try your local gourmetshop maybe?	TALLIS::SLEWIS		`Fri May 08 1987 17:13`	5
	I've found Bohemian Hearth at most Demoulas/Market Baskets (might be worth a trip down route 3) and also at Carlson's Orchard in Harvard, Ma. It's rare enough that I usually buy at least two loaves when I do find it. You won't get bored with this bread, and I've tried them all.
