What it is

Soybeans are legumes native to East Asia. They are typically grown for their edible beans, which are a source of protein and oil. Soybeans can be processed into various food ingredients, including soy milk, tofu, and soy flour.

Why it's used

Soybeans are a versatile ingredient used in many food products. They provide protein and can act as an emulsifier, helping to blend oil and water. They are commonly found in plant-based meat alternatives, baked goods, sauces, and dairy-free products.

Health notes

Soybeans are a source of complete protein, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals. Some research suggests that soy consumption may have benefits for heart health, but evidence is mixed on its effects on hormone-sensitive conditions. The FDA has stated that 25 grams of soy protein per day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. JECFA has evaluated soy and set an acceptable daily intake.

Allergen info

Soybeans are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. People with a soy allergy should avoid foods containing soy ingredients.
