Love those puffs. The soya filling sounds fascinating.

I like the way you used the pulp to make filling instead of discarding. It still has lots of nutrients in it.
Good job!

Hi Edith, Angie, Wendy and Vivian,

Thanks, this idea came to me after I saw a blender demonstration. The promoter has recommend ways how we can reuse the pulp, as facial mask and fertilizer.

Hi Sonia,

You're welcome. :) Now a day everyone talking about recycling and this is one way we can reduce wastage. This is what 'Mr Bean' Enterprise do to all the soya bean pulp too. I love their soya bean biscuit and puffs.
