Soy Takes Center Stage: Indiana Soybean Alliance Joins Forces with World Food Championships
Share:
Posted Nov 3, 2024Indianapolis, IN – (November 3, 2024) – The World Food Championships (WFC), the world’s largest Food Sport competition focused on everyday cooking categories, announced today that the Indiana Soybean Alliance (ISA) will be taking a role in the Kitchen Arena at this year’s event taking place November 8-12 at the Indiana Farm Bureau Fall Creek Pavilion located at the Indiana State Fairgrounds & Event Center in Indianapolis. This will be the first year that the Indiana Soybean Alliance has aligned with the WFC. As part of the partnership, the ISA will be providing high oleic soybean oil to the competitors, which will be made available via the Kitchen Arena pantry. This oil will serve as the “Official Cooking Oil” for the competition.
High oleic soybean oil delivers enhanced functional benefits within food service operations such as superior high heat stability. Exclusively a U.S. product, it extends product shelf life and offers the longest fry life of any edible oil, meaning it performs longer than standard vegetable oils in high-temperature and extended-use applications because of the heat and the oxidative stability of the oil. In addition, its neutral flavor profile allows it to blend well in a variety of foods and lets the true and natural flavors of the ingredients used with it stand out.
The Indiana Soybean Alliance, recognized by the Secretary of U.S. Department of Agriculture as a Qualified State Soybean Board, is a statewide organization that works to enhance the viability of Indiana soybean farmers through the effective and efficient investment of soybean checkoff funds into soybean market development, education, and promotion programs. ISA works with the United Soybean Board, which promotes US Soy and soy foods nationally.
“We’re thrilled to be working with the Indiana Soybean Alliance to elevate soy as an ingredient on one of the world’s preeminent stages for food competition,” said Mike McCloud, Founder of World Food Championships. “Soy is such a versatile ingredient with so many uses, it is often underutilized in Western cuisine.”
The 2024 World Food Championships will be held in Indianapolis, Indiana, from November 8-12, with qualifying events taking place throughout the year. The Indiana Farm Bureau Fall Creek Pavilion will be the heart of the action, with competitions, live demonstrations, and unique fan experiences spread throughout the venue.
