Organic Soybeans And Salt

Soybeans are legumes grown worldwide. Organic soybeans are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. They are typically processed by crushing to extract oil or used whole in foods.

Soybeans are a source of protein and oil. They are used to make soy sauce, tofu, tempeh, and soy milk. In processed foods, soy protein can act as a binder or emulsifier.

Soybeans are a common food ingredient and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of complete protein and contain isoflavones, which are plant compounds. Some research suggests soy consumption may have benefits for heart health, but evidence is mixed. JECFA has evaluated soy protein and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).
