Density 89 · +26 vs Legumes & beans median

Defatted soy flour scores 89 of 100, rank 2 of 60 in legumes and beans and well ahead of the category median of 63. It is protein-forward at 103% DV per 100 grams, with 69% DV magnesium and 63% DV dietary fiber rounding out a genuinely dense profile for a flour.

It is used in baking blended with wheat flour, in soy milk and tofu production, and in processed foods as a protein ingredient, with a cup (105 g) the reference amount here. The one caveat worth noting: it is high in sugars at 16.4 g per 100 g, more than most people expect from a flour.
