Nature's Nutritional Gift. Soybean helps people feel better and live longer with an enhanced quality of life. Soybean contains all the macronutrients required for good nutrition, as well as fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Soybean protein provides all the essential amino acids in the amounts needed for human health. But it is the quality of soy protein that is most remarkable.
Health professionals consider soy protein as a very superior protein.
The amino acid pattern of soy protein is virtually equivalent in quality to that of milk and egg protein. Unlike many other good sources of protein, soybean not only has a higher percentage of oil but also a high quality fatty acid profile. It has a low saturated fat content with a high amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids and is a readily digestible source of essential fatty acids. Soybeans, especially the outer hull, are an excellent source of dietary fiber. When soybeans are processed, the hull is removed and then processed further to create a fiber additive for breads, cereals and snacks.
