Soybean sprouts are richer in vitamin C than soybeans. Tofu is a processed product of soybeans. Compared with soybeans, nutrients are easier to absorb. But if you compare 100 grams of nutrients, soybeans must have more. After all, tofu It also has water added in it. The dietary fiber of tofu is not as rich as that of soybeans, because the tofu residue has been removed, but because it is easy to absorb, the utilization rate of nutrients is higher

The so-called tofu is made by soaking soybeans in water to expand them, then grinding them, filtering out the bean dregs, adding a coagulant to the cooked soy milk, and then pouring it into a box to solidify. Since the ingredients of soy products are completely preserved, they have extremely high nutritional value and are also rich in calcium.

Tofu also contains vitamins C, B, iron, phosphorus and protein. It contains very few carbohydrates and is suitable for diabetics and obese people. In addition, the fat contained in tofu is plant-based. That is, it does not contain cholesterol and is an ideal food for patients with high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis and heart disease.

Everyone loves tofu. Soy milk and tofu for breakfast, casserole tofu and mapo tofu in the dishes, shredded tofu and dried tofu in the soy products... there are so many choices! A grand banquet cannot be held with only tofu dishes!

Soy milk and tofu are the first of its kind in my country. The foreigners did not have tofu, so the English word for tofu is tofu.

Soybeans originated in China and were called "shu" in ancient times. Soybean cultivation has a history of four to five thousand years in our country. Adzuki beans are rich in protein. Every 100 grams of soybeans contains more than 36 grams of protein, which is far ahead among various foods. In recent years, there has been a "soy milk craze" in Japan and the United States. Men, women, old and young love to drink soy milk. Various soy milk products are sold in stores: orange soy milk, coffee soy milk... various tofu dishes, canned tofu, etc. It has become a best-selling novel food.

However, fried soybeans and fried soybeans are not easy to digest, and less than half of the nutrients can be absorbed by the body. Boiled soybeans are better, and the absorption rate is only 65.5%. Soy milk and tofu are easier to digest, and 85 to 95% of the protein can be absorbed by the body.

Soybeans are a nutritious food. Soaking soybeans in water will produce soybean sprouts that are more nutritious than soybeans. The vitamin B2 content of soybean sprouts is two to three times higher than that of soybeans, containing 0.1 mg per 100 grams. Soybeans originally do not contain vitamin C, while soybean sprouts contain 10 mg of vitamin C. In early spring, people are prone to lack of vitamin B2 and vitamin C. In addition, there are few vegetables on the market in spring, so it is advisable to eat more soybean sprouts.

Soybeans contain trypsin inhibitors and more phytic acid, which affects the absorption and utilization of nutrients. During the germination process of soybeans, most of the trypsin inhibitors are destroyed. At the same time, the protein contained in soybeans is also decomposed into soluble peptides and amino acids. This not only increases the freshness of bean sprouts, but also makes the utilization rate of protein in bean sprouts higher than that of soybeans. At least 10% improvement. After soybeans sprout, the phytic acid in them is also reduced, thereby increasing the absorption rate of minerals calcium and zinc.

Soybean sprouts also contain an interferon inducer, which can induce interferon, and interferon can interfere with virus metabolism. People are more likely to suffer from viral colds and other miscellaneous diseases in spring. Therefore, eating soybean sprouts in spring can also enhance people's ability to resist viral infections.

The bean sprouts on the market today are often produced by vendors adding urea and hormones. This type of fast-growing bean sprouts contains chemicals that are toxic to the human body. The "shoots" of poisonous bean sprouts are long, white, and have roots. If you want to buy one, it is best to choose one without roots. It is not difficult to grow soybean sprouts, and it is best to do it yourself at home. When growing bean sprouts at home, pay attention to the "heat". Because soybean sprouts are not "buds", the longer the better, the ones with the highest nutrient content and the freshest taste are those with sprouts that are two centimeters long. In addition, it should be noted that when cooking bean sprouts, do not add alkali, which will destroy a large amount of vitamin B2. Adding vinegar will help preserve nutrients.

Recent scientific research results show that although soybeans have high protein content, their nutritional value is limited due to the presence of trypsin inhibitors, so people advocate the consumption of soy products. During the germination process of soybeans, most of these substances are degraded and destroyed. The protein utilization rate of soybean sprouts is about 10% higher than that of soybeans. In addition, the oligosaccharides contained in soybeans, such as raffinose, rhamnose, and stachyose, which cannot be absorbed by the human body and can easily cause abdominal distension, decrease sharply during the germination process. Or even all disappear, which avoids the occurrence of bloating after eating soybeans. During the germination process of soybeans, due to the action of enzymes, more mineral elements such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, and zinc are released, which increases the human body's utilization of the minerals in soybeans. After soybeans germinate, in addition to vitamin C, carotene can increase 1-2 times, vitamin B2 can increase 2-4 times, niacin can increase more than 2 times, and folic acid can increase exponentially. Aspartic acid increases sharply after soybeans sprout, so eating bean sprouts can reduce the accumulation of lactic acid in the body and eliminate fatigue. Bean sprouts also contain a substance called nitrophosphatase, which can effectively fight epilepsy and reduce epileptic seizures. In recent years, it has been discovered that bean sprouts contain an interferon inducer, which can induce interferon and increase the body's anti-viral and anti-cancer capabilities.

Like soybeans, soybean sprouts also have diuretic and detoxifying effects. If you have dry mouth and burnt tongue due to heat syndrome, sore throat, dry cough with yellow phlegm, tingling pain in both sides, little and golden urine, difficulty in defecation, and your body is hot, you may wish to buy 500-1000 grams of soybean sprouts and add some Fry 1 old tangerine peel with plenty of water for 4-5 hours and then drink it. It can clear away lung heat, remove yellow phlegm, facilitate urination and moisturize internal organs.
