1. 1

   DEFINING - Soymilk is the rich creamy milk of whole soybeans. It is lactose- and casein-free. Soymilk is available in regular and low-fat varieties, and some brands are fortified with calcium, vitamin D and/or vitamin B-12.

2. 2

   STORING - Soymilk is most commonly found in aseptic (non-refrigerated) quart and 8- ounce containers, but is also sold refrigerated in plastic quart and half- gallon containers. Unopened, aseptically packaged soymilk can be stored at room temperature for several months. Once it is opened, the soymilk must be refrigerated. It will stay fresh for about 5 days. Soymilk also is sold as a powder, which must be mixed with water. Soymilk powder should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
