What is this food?
Soybean pudding (often called geerlig’s cheese in some places) is a soft, creamy dessert made from soybeans. It’s usually eaten as a snack or light merienda because it’s filling and has a mild, pleasant taste.
Why it matters to health
For your health, soybean pudding can be a helpful plant-based protein option. In a 100 g serving, it has low total fat (about 1.4 g) and very low saturated fat (about 0.13 g), plus some fiber (about 0.2 g) and small sugar (about 0.3 g). It also has low sodium (about 22 mg), which is good for everyday eating. Since it’s still a food with calories (about 34 kcal per 100 g), pairing it with your meals and snacks helps keep your daily balance—especially if you’re also eating rice, bread, or other sweet treats in the same day.
Healthier tips
- Use it as a snack/merienda (e.g., after lunch or mid-afternoon) so it complements your 3 full meals without crowding your plate.
- Pair with fruit (banana, mango, or berries) or unsweetened drinks to add more fiber and fullness.
- If you’re watching sugar, choose versions that are less sweet, and avoid adding extra condensed milk or syrup.
- For better overall balance, combine it with a whole-food snack (like nuts or fruit) rather than another sugary item.
