Soy Foods Month Celebrations
April 8 - April 13
Join Us for Free Soy Lattes at Jefferson City Coffee Shops from April 8-13!
From April 8-13, stop by Coffee Zone (130 E High St, Jefferson City, MO) or High Rise Bakery (118 E High St, Jefferson City, MO) to receive a free 12-ounce soy latte. Missouri Soybeans will also be hosting a giveaway for coffee gift cards and Missouri Soybeans gift bags. On April 12, we invite you to celebrate with us at a Soy Foods Month Food Truck event at the Center for Soy Innovation (734 S. Country Club Dr., Jefferson City, MO, 65109). Food trucks will feature soy-inclusive special menu items for this event.
Soy Foods Month is an opportunity to celebrate soy’s important place at the table – from its powerful plant-based nutrition and ability to improve skin health to its sustainable production and cooking versatility. Soy is a complete, high-quality protein that provides all nine essential amino acids in amounts needed by the body. It’s the only plant protein that carries the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) heart health claim confirming it may be able to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Soy foods are also a source of folate, potassium, fiber, iron, and zinc. Soybean oil, which is typically labeled as “vegetable oil”, also carries an FDA heart health claim confirming it may be able to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
Also, be sure to join us for a JC Soy Foods Month Proclamation on Monday, April 8. Mayor Ron Fitzwater will issue a proclamation declaring it Soy Foods Month in Jefferson City. The event will begin at 8 a.m. at Coffee Zone.
We hope to see you at our Soy Foods month celebrations during the week of April 8.
