Soybean (scientific name: Glycine max? (Linn。 ) Merr) commonly known as soybean. Leguminosae is panicum miliaceum, 30-90cm high. Stems stout, erect, densely covered with brown bristles. Leaves usually 3-foliolate; Stipules and yellow pilose; Petiole 2-20 cm long; Leaflets broadly ovate, papery; Racemes have fewer short flowers and more long flowers;

The amino acid composition of soybean protein is similar to that of animal protein, in which the proportion of amino acids is close to the needs of human body and easy to digest and absorb. If soybean is eaten with meat and eggs, its nutrition can be comparable to that of eggs and milk, even more than that of eggs and milk.

All kinds of bean products after soybean processing not only contain high protein content, but also contain many essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized by human body. The protein digestibility of cholesterol content in tofu is as high as 95%, which is an ideal tonic and dietetic product.

Edible efficacy

1, enhancing human immune function: Soybean is rich in protein and contains many essential amino acids, which can improve human immunity.

2. Preventing vascular sclerosis: Lecithin in soybean can remove cholesterol attached to the blood vessel wall, prevent vascular sclerosis, prevent cardiovascular diseases and protect the heart. Lecithin in soybean can also prevent the accumulation of excessive fat in the liver, thus effectively preventing fatty liver caused by obesity.

3, laxative: soluble fiber contained in soybeans can not only laxative, but also reduce cholesterol content.

4, hypoglycemic, lipid-lowering: Soybean contains a substance that inhibits pancreatic enzyme and has a therapeutic effect on diabetes. Saponins contained in soybean have obvious hypolipidemic effect, and at the same time, can inhibit weight gain.

5. Soybean isoflavone is a phytoestrogen with estrogenic activity, and its structure is similar to estrogen. Can relieve symptoms of female climacteric syndrome, delay female cell aging, maintain skin elasticity, protect skin, reduce bone loss, promote bone formation and reduce blood lipid.
