Kinako
''Kinako'' ( or "yellow flour") is roasted Soy flour, soybean flour, used in Japanese cuisine. In English, it is usually called "roasted soy flour". ''Kinako'' is mostly used as a topping to flavor rice cakes like mochi. History Usage of the word ''kinako'' appeared in Japanese cookbooks from the late Muromachi period (1336–1573). An early record of the word comes from the text ''Sōtan Chakai Kondate Nikki'' (''Sōtan's Tea Ceremony Cookery Menu Diary''), written in 1587 by Sen no Sōtan, a Japanese tea ceremony, tea ceremony master. Production ''Kinako'' is produced by finely grinding roasted soybeans into powder. The skin of the soybean is typically removed before pulverizing the beans, but some varieties of ''kinako'' retain the roasted skin. Yellow soybeans produce a yellow ''kinako'', and green soybeans produce a light-green product. Usage ''Kinako'' is widely used in Japanese cooking, but is strongly associated with ''dango'' and ''wagashi''. ''Dango'', dumplin ...

Soybean
The soybean, soy bean, or soya bean (''Glycine max'') is a species of legume native to East Asia, widely grown for its edible bean. Soy is a staple crop, the world's most grown legume, and an important animal feed. Soy is a key source of food, useful both for its protein and oil content. Soybean oil is widely used in cooking, as well as in industry. Traditional unfermented food uses of soybeans include edamame, as well as soy milk, from which tofu and tofu skin are made. Fermented soy foods include soy sauce, fermented bean paste, nattō, and tempeh. Fat-free (defatted) soybean meal is a significant and cheap source of protein for animal feeds and many packaged meals. For example, soybean products, such as textured vegetable protein (TVP), are ingredients in many meat and dairy substitutes. Soy based foods are traditionally associated with East Asian cuisines, and still constitute a major part of East Asian diets, but processed soy products are increasingly used ...

Pinole
Pinole, also called pinol, is roasted ground maize. The resulting powder is then used as a nutrient-dense ingredient to make different foods, such as cereals, baked goods, tortillas, and beverages. For example, it can be mixed with a combination of cocoa, agave, cinnamon, chia seeds, vanilla, or other spices, to make a beverage called pinolillo. The name comes from the Nahuatl word ''pinolli'', meaning cornmeal. Today, pinole is generally made by hand using wood-burning adobe ovens and a stone and pestle, and is still consumed in certain, often rural, parts of Latin America. Pinole is considered the national beverage of Nicaragua. Nutritional content Depending on the type of pinole and the quality of its ingredients, pinole can be high in key vitamins and nutrients, including protein, amino acids, fiber, and antioxidants. Due to the large amount of fiber and the slow digestion of the maize, pinole also has a very high satiety effect, leaving those who consume it feeling f ...

Kusa Mochi
Kusa mochi (, "herb mochi"), also known as ''yomogi mochi'' (), is a Japanese confection. It is made from mochi and leaves of yomogi (Japanese mugwort). The leaves are kneaded into the mochi, giving it a vivid green color. The greenness depends on the amount of Japanese mugwort blended in the mochi. History The custom to knead Japanese mugwort was adopted from the Chinese. Documents state that nobles were eating kusa mochi during palace events in the Heian era. It used to be made with Jersey cudweed before the Heian era. Another purported reason for the change in ingredients was because Jersey cudweed is called ''Haha-ko-gusa'' which literally translates to "mother-and-child grass". As kusa mochi was enjoyed with a purpose of wishing for the health and well-being of mother and her children, it was considered ominous to knead jersey cudweed into the mochi. Since the Edo-era, kusa mochi began to be used as offering for Hinamatsuri (the Girl's Festival). The reason it was c ...
