I will be picking up a few things from "Friscos" during a trip to Omaha. One item I'm wanting is "soy protein concentrate" but all they have is "Soy Flour" on their website listed under sausage additives.

Is this the same thing?? I emailed them but have not received a response.
Should this be used 1:1 for soy protein concentrate ??
Thanks,
Roger
It's hard to tell without them providing a better description. Soy Protein Concentrate is Soy Flour that has been process to remove many of the fats and carbohydrates until it is at least around 70% protein.
I purchase mine from Sausage Maker, but since you are in Nebraska, why not order it from:
Allied Kenco (http://www.alliedkenco.com/search.aspx?find=soy)
I use both and at times buckwheat flour.
Hab ... I figured I could save on shipping as I don't really need anything else right now. Its disappointing that Friscos does not respond to customer's inquiries about their products :( . I think I'll stick with Allied ... they've treated me well in the past. :)
NePaS ... informative as usual !
Thanks to both of you,
Roger

Sometimes it takes a wile for Mike to back with folks, he travels allot and is not always in the office. Heck I rarely see him when I go there.
Any how the flour (50% protein) and concentrate (70% protein) are not the same.
Check this out, they have some good info and not tryin to sell you a product.

For me the "chew" in sausage is better with the concentrate, the flour makes the "chew" kinda mushy.
The higher protein makes a far better sausage,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,just sayin. ;D
Thanks OU812 ...
I appreciate the response.
I'll get the concentrate from Allied on my next order. Being a newbie, that won't be very long ... I'm already finding all sorts of thing I "need" ;D
