Etymology
Pronunciation

okara (uncountable)
- A food made from soybean pulp; a by-product of soy milk production.
- 1998, Vincent E. A. Rinaldi, Utilization of Okara to Produce Extruded Cereal Products
- Okara is the residue or soy pulp that remains after the production of soymilk and tofu. Although typically considered a waste product in the U.S., okara has been shown to have many promising attributes.
- 2004, Colin W. Wrigley, Encyclopedia of grain science
- The dietary fiber content of okara is greater than 50%, so its energy content is only half that of wheat flour. Okara alone has some antinutritional qualities; however, fermented okara may have definite dietary advantages.
