Soybean, as one of the important plant protein sources and cash crops, has been widely planted and applied in China and around the world. It can not only provide high-quality protein, various vitamins and minerals, but also contain many special nutrients that have positive effects on human health, and is known as the "crown jewel" in the plant world.

High-quality protein: Soybean is a kind of plant with high protein, its protein content accounts for more than 40% of dry weight, and its protein is of good quality, and all the amino acids it contains basically meet the nutritional needs of human body, which is equivalent to animal protein. Therefore, soybean is considered as an important source of plant protein.

Calcium in plant foods: Soybean is rich in minerals such as calcium and magnesium, and the proportion of calcium is high, so it has become one of the main sources of plant-derived calcium. Calcium is an essential element to maintain human bone structure and dental health, and it also has a certain regulatory effect on the normal function of cardiovascular system.

Lowering cholesterol: Soluble and insoluble fiber contained in soybean can slow down the time of food passing through the intestine, slow down the absorption of glucose, cholesterol and other components, and can be transformed into beneficial substances in the intestine, thus improving intestinal health and lowering cholesterol levels.

Antioxidants: Soybean seeds are rich in antioxidants such as polyphenols and isoflavones, which can scavenge free radicals in human body and protect cells from oxidative damage, thus having preventive and therapeutic effects on cancer, cardiovascular diseases, retinopathy and other diseases.
