As one of the important plant protein sources and cash crops, soybean is widely planted and applied in China and all over the world. It not only provides high-quality protein, various vitamins and minerals, but also contains 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 high-protein plant, and its protein content accounts for more than 40% of the dry weight. The quality of protein is good, and its amino acids 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 food: 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 calcium. Calcium is an essential element to maintain human bone structure and dental health, and 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 the human body and protect cells from oxidative damage, thus preventing and treating diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases and retinopathy.

Regulation of endocrine: Isoflavone contained in soybean can bind with estrogen receptor, inhibit the effect of bad estrogen, and also participate in regulating the hormone level in women, thus effectively supporting the health of endocrine system.
