For anyone wondering about the macro information of this recipe, I did some calculations! The recipe uses 1lbs of dry fava beans, around 450g. Dry fava beans have around 25g of protein per 100g, so it would be 112.5g of protein for 450g of dry fava beans. On Wikipedia it says that soybean pulp has about 17% of the protein of the whole soy bean, so I assume it would be around the same for fava beans, that leaves around 93,375g of protein in the milk. The carb content in the whole recipe is about 261g (58g per 100g), of which 112,5g are fiber (25g per 100g), and the rest are starches, about 148,5g. Most of the fiber stays behind in the bean pulp, I would estimate around 80-90% of the fiber. That is around 95,625 g of fiber, leaving us with 16,875g of fiber in the recipe. Now this step really depends on how well you separate the starches from the milk, let's assume that most likely 90% of the starches will get separated. That leaves us with 14,85g of starches. The fat in fava beans is really minimal, about 1,5g per 100g of dry beans. That would be around 6,75g of fat for the whole recipe. In total that leaves us with around 561 kcal, 93,4g of protein, 31,7g of total carbs (of which 16,9 are fibers) and 6,8g of fat for the whole recipe. If you are tracking, I would suggest portioning the block into portions of your liking and dividing the macro information according to the amount of portions. I hope I helped anyone!

So you are telling me that the resulting tofu only has 17% of the protein and also veey little of the fiber? Leaving us with basically starch?Or is it the opposite? I am sorry, I didn't understand it very well.

@@smit17xp I imagine I probably don't. 🤷♀️ My doctors aren't even sure what the right amount of protein is for me. I have some pretty major physical stuff wrong, but the doctors can't really pin down enough weird details to make much progress, and things continue to become more difficult and painful. I've been going downhill since I was a teen, so I am finally embracing these increasing challenges with a smile and determination. I read a lot of food labels, I have to cook all of my own meals, and I enjoy trying new vegetables when I encounter them. I have been exploring how different cultures cook their vegetables and what spices they use, and that has really cheered me up. Thankfully, right now for protein, broccoli and potatoes do pretty well for me with occasional pea-protein vegan "meat" once or twice a week. I also have a dietary drink powder (that they give people in the hospital who are on liquid-only diets) that I sometimes can tolerate. Although in my 30s I'm chronically ill and disabled because of it, so my life is more about being thankful for what I can still do and just praying that God gets me through each day step by step, rather than living a big, adventurous healthy life like many people my age have or are seeking.

@@marystestkitchenDo you allow me to give you a tip? For soy tofu you can make it very firm and able to cut very fine slices without broke, firmer and more resistant even than extra firm tofu from stores. The tip is to put the tofu block on microwave, if possible inside a vapor cook container for microwave, gor about 5 or 6 minutes . The heat will make the tofu's proteins to bind to each other and will release a lot of water. Maybe you could try this microwave technic with your mung bean tofu yo see if have similar effect.

When we first moved to the southern tier in New York in the early 1970s, grocery stores did not carry tofu. If you wanted it, you had to make your own. it was a pretty straightforward process, just a little time consuming. I used to use Epsom salts as the coagulant, but I remember experimenting with lemon juice. Then a little health food store opened, and I could buy it. Relief!

Wow, that's super inspiring. I'm off to get me a blender and then start making tofu! NB: here is a way to move the milk (minus the starch) to another bowl with almost zero effort: You will need a thin food-safe plastic tube and a clothespin. - Place the bowl with the milk on an elevated position on a container or on a stack of books. - The empty bowl goes next to it. - Place the tube in the bowl of milk so that it fills completely. - Take the tube by the ends with both hands. - One end of the tube is now placed in the lower empty bowl. The other end remains in the upper one. The milk starts to flow over now. - To prevent the tube from emptying, close the end with your fingertip while it is moved over. - The hose can now be fixed to the edge of the upper bowl with the clothespin so that its end is just a bit above the sediment. The milk now flows into the other bowl by itself, while the starch remains where it is. I admit, this sounds a bit complicated. But it's much quicker done than explained and only takes a few seconds.

I recently made this, and followed all your instructions to a T. It worked marvelously! I don't have a thermometer and couldn't find my measuring spoons, so I measured everything by eyeballing it and cooked the fava bean milk based on my previous experience with homemade soymilk. No tofu press either, so I filtered the curds with a nutmilk bag, squeezed out the whey, then compressed it in a container like cheese-makers would do. The leftover whey was used as broth-base for tomyum soup 😋 As for the okara, I just dried it in a pan over low heat, constantly stirring until it was dry and partially cooked. It still retained the bean-y smell, but tastes bland. I'll save it for another experiment down the line - I'm thinking gluten-free dinner rolls or hamburger buns. Starch-wise, I was surprised at how much it yielded. 1 kilograms of beans gave me roughly 150-200 grams of wet starch. Not sure what I'll do with it though. Since I processed my tofu in 3 batches, I got lazy with the last one so I just cooked the bean milk to be consumed as is. It tastes very similar to soymilk with a whiff of fava. I used some to make matcha latte and it was heavenly!

I wish! I can't find them to buy. At least, not raw/dried ones. Only the snacks. Although, I quite like the snack versions too 😁

Let it settle, skim the milk off then let it settle again. I let it settle a total of three times and pretty much all the starch is gone. I also save the starch and dry it to use as a thickener in cooking.

I've made Paneer Cheese before, and it resembled tofu, and I cubed it, and put it in homemade Chinese Hot and Sour Soup...it kept its texture

Yummy thanks. But the Fava beans are so expensive like 5$ to 10$ a pound including shipping. I have never tried making tofu out of it. But now I know. Still soy tofu is much cheaper and I don’t have to make it. But I have made it before, and they were delicious.

And split mung beans might be interesting with one of their uses being an egg substitute

"Mary's Test Kitchen" is an accurate name. Mary does test my patience in her kitchen. I mean not only who eats tofu, but who makes tofu for fun? I'd prefer a nice and rare burger with bacon bits and blue cheese crumbles in the patty, nice and crispy PORK bacon(not that turkey or vegan garbo), a slice of sharp cheddar and non-vegan buns with ALL the gluten. The best part about all of this, it's free speech and nobody can do anything about it.

I feel like the starchy version of the tofu could be fermented before pressing. Give it some starch-loving yeast and bacteria, like a sourdough culture, and let it chew on that starch before any further processing. Might be a great way to make a bean cheese.

About your Lomi... I have 1, I have several in home composters and a real compost pile on my property! I hope you are enjoying your Lomi! Instead of ready made compost, what it actually makes is considered a *soil amendment* that you can sprinkle onto your lawn or mix in with potting soil when planting. The reason being why its called soil amendment's is bcuz real compost has living microbes in it that make up soul and are beneficial to plants. The Lomi dehydrates and pulverizes the food waste, which is a good thing, but bcuz it has no microbes, among ither things, it isnt true compost. The good news is you can dump it in your compost pile and it will be utilized right away. I tell you all this bcuz ive encountered people who hate these things and leave lengthy reason why they dont work yet, theyve nevwr owned one!! 😉💖

@@marystestkitchen I can appreciate trying other beans to see how they work. I've tried many bean for hummus, and Great Northers require less tahini to achieve creamy results that I quite like, and replacing lime for lemon gives a great zing.
