How to make soybeans

Soybeans are rich in plant protein, but if you want to get the nutrients in soybeans, the choice of cooking method is very important. Generally speaking, soybeans can be made into soy milk or tofu for consumption. So, besides this processing method, how else can soybeans be eaten? In fact, there are many ways to cook soybeans, such as soybean filling, pea yellow, etc., which are all ways to eat soybeans.

Soybeans do not only refer to soybeans, they also include black beans and green beans. Soybeans are rich in nutrients, with protein content twice that of pork and 2.5 times that of eggs. The protein content is not only high but also of good quality. The amino acid composition of soy protein is similar to that of animal protein, and the amino acids are closer to the ratio required by the human body, so it is easily digested and absorbed. If soybeans are eaten together with meat and eggs, their nutritional value can be comparable to that of eggs and milk, or even exceed that of eggs and milk.

Soybean fat also has high nutritional value. This fat contains a lot of unsaturated fatty acids and is easily digested and absorbed by the human body. Moreover, soybean fat can prevent the absorption of cholesterol, so soybeans are an ideal nutritional supplement for patients with arteriosclerosis.

The dietary fiber in okara plays a vital role in promoting good digestion and excretion of solid waste. Supplementing with an appropriate amount of fiber can make the food in the intestines larger and softer, promote intestinal peristalsis, thereby speeding up bowel movements, preventing constipation and reducing the risk of colon cancer. At the same time, dietary fiber has obvious functions of lowering plasma cholesterol, regulating gastrointestinal function and insulin levels.

Soybean meal is the residual byproduct after soybean oil is extracted by low-temperature (40-60℃) extraction method, and it is in the form of coarse powder. Because they are not exposed to temperature, soybean antitrypsin, urease, hemagglutinin, saponin and goiter-inducing factor will not be destroyed. Soybean meal is the most widely used and largest amount of vegetable protein raw material.
