The soy milk we eat most is made from ground soybeans. Recently, many reports claim that drinking black soy milk has many benefits. So what are the benefits of drinking black soy milk?
Before looking at the benefits of drinking black soy milk, let’s first get familiar with the predecessor of black soy milk, which is black beans. Black beans and soybeans are close relatives and both belong to the soybean family. There are only differences in varieties but similar nutritional contents. Therefore, both black soybean milk and soybean milk are rich in nutrients such as protein, potassium, magnesium, calcium, B vitamins, as well as soluble dietary fiber and isoflavones health-care substances. The difference is that soybean milk contains a small amount of carotene, while black soybean milk contains chlorophyll and melanin, which are beneficial to health. So what are the benefits of drinking black soy milk? Black beans have slightly higher protein, potassium, and vitamin content than soybeans, so the benefit of drinking black soy milk is that it has stronger fire-clearing, diuretic, and antioxidant effects.
The reason why drinking black soy milk has many benefits is because black soy milk is more nutritious than soy milk. Research shows that black beans have the characteristics of high protein and low calories, and its protein content is as high as 36%- 40%, equivalent to twice the content of meat, three times that of eggs, and 12 times that of milk; rich in 18 kinds of amino acids, especially the content of 8 kinds of acids necessary for the human body, which is higher than the high protein standard stipulated by the US FDA. Black beans also contain 19 kinds of oils, with an unsaturated fatty acid content of 80% and an absorption rate of over 95%. In addition to meeting the body's demand for fat, it also has the effect of lowering cholesterol in the blood. Because black beans basically contain no cholesterol, they only contain plant sterols. Phytosterols are not absorbed and utilized by the human body, but they inhibit the body's absorption of cholesterol and reduce cholesterol levels in the blood.
Therefore, the benefits of drinking black soy milk regularly are: it can soften blood vessels, moisturize the skin, delay aging, and is especially good for high blood pressure, heart disease, liver and other diseases. It is said that Concubine Yang, one of the four beauties in ancient China, used black beans to stay young and beautiful.
It can be seen that the benefits of drinking black soy milk are not ordinary. It is also good to try black soy milk if you want to change your taste.
