Soy Curls by Butler Foods, are not chips. That’s what we first thought when we heard of Soy Curls…healthy snack food!

No, Soy Curls are freeze dried, textured non-GMO soybeans. The whole soybean is used.

Soy Curls are easy to use. Just soak in warm water for 10 minutes and cook ‘em.

The texture is soooo much better than we expected. They are firm, not mushy like tofu. Use in stir-fry, fajitas, soups and more.

Oh, and, they are hand made in Oregon.

We also found metal dust pans made in the USA.  These guys will last forever!
