This invention relates to simulated nut production. More specifically, it relates to a method for producing a simulated nut, said method including providing a premix by mixing soy bean particles having surfaces, a nut flavoring, and a binder including a saccharide in a wet flowable form wherein the surfaces of the soy bean particles are coated with the binder, and forming the premix into a self-supporting shape that is substantially similar to a natural nut shape. The resulting simulated nut product is healthier due to the substantial soy content used instead of real nutmeat, while replicating authentic nut flavor, crunch, appearance, texture, and the like. The simulated nuts of the present invention can be made at less cost than obtaining real nuts.
