Soy candles
Soy is also used as renewable ingredient for non-food products, such as soy candles and biofuel. Soy candles produce less soot than paraffin candles and burn longer.

| I wonder what are the properties of Soya seed hulls? All I could find is that they are used in animal feed and have a lot of fibre. Is it better to remove them. When making tempeh they are removed before cooking-why is that & why before? |

| These hulls are indeed fibre and are indigestible for humans. But they are also not digestible for the Rhizopus molds used in tempeh fermentation. Although soybeans without hulls make the best tempeh, it is possible to make tempeh without removing them. When making tempeh the hulls are removed before the final cooking process, because removing them afterwards will increase the risk of infection. |
