Soybean dregs is an ingredient produced when making soybean tofu and soy milk.

Introduction to Soybean Ingredients

Also known as soybeans, yellow soybeans, branch beans, vegetable soybeans.

Soybean is an annual herbaceous plant belonging to the leguminous family, which is native to my country. Soybeans are divided into five categories according to their seed coat color and grain shape: yellow soybeans, green soybeans, black soybeans, other soybeans (single-colored soybeans with brown, brown, and red seed coats), and feed beans (generally smaller grains, showing Oblate and oblong, with sunken dots on two cotyledons, and the seed coat is slightly shiny or dull). It has been cultivated since ancient times in my country, and it has been cultivated for 5000 years. It is now widely planted throughout the country, and it is produced in the Northeast, North China, Shaanxi, Sichuan and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It is mostly cultivated in the Yangtze River Basin and the Southwest, and the Northeast soybean has the best quality. Soybeans cultivated in countries all over the world are directly or indirectly spread from our country. Because of its high nutritional value, it is called "the king of beans", "the meat of the field", "green milk" and so on. It is the most respected food among hundreds of natural foods.

Nutritional value

1. Soybean contains about 40% protein, which is comparable to animal protein in both quantity and quality. The protein content of 500 grams of soybean is equivalent to 1500 grams of eggs, or 6000 grams of milk, or 1000 grams of lean pork, so soybeans have "vegetable meat". "And the reputation of "Green Cow".

2. Soybean protein contains more essential amino acids, especially rich in lysine, which just complements the deficiency of lysine deficiency in cereals, and the lack of methionine in soybeans can be supplemented by cereals.

3. Soybeans have a fat content of 18-20%, occupying the first place in beans, with an oil yield of 20%. In addition, the advantage over animal fat is that it contains less cholesterol, and is rich in linoleic acid and linoleic acid. These unsaturated fatty acids make soybeans have a cholesterol-lowering effect; there are also more lecithins, which are harmful to the nervous system. Development is important.

4. Contains inorganic salts such as potassium and sodium, certain essential trace elements, daidzein (including genistein) that is isoflavones, lignoside and soy saponin. Although dried soybeans do not contain vitamin C, they can produce vitamin C after germination. They can be supplemented during the off-season of vegetables. In addition, soybeans also contain vitamins A, B, D, E, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other minerals.

5. Various soy products processed from soybeans not only have high protein content, but also contain a variety of essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the human body. The protein digestibility of tofu in the cholesterol content is as high as 95%, which is an ideal tonic food.

It should be noted that raw soybeans contain antitrypsin factors, which affect the body's absorption of nutrients in soybeans. Therefore, the cooking time of soybeans and soybean-based foods should be longer than ordinary foods, and high temperature is used to destroy these factors and improve the nutritional value of soybean protein.

Edible effect

1. Enhance the body's immune function: Soybeans are rich in protein and contain a variety of essential amino acids, which can improve human immunity.

2. Prevent vascular sclerosis: the lecithin in soybeans can remove cholesterol attached to the blood vessel wall, prevent vascular sclerosis, prevent cardiovascular disease, and protect the heart. The lecithin in soybeans also has the effect of preventing excessive fat accumulation in the liver, thus effectively preventing and treating fatty liver caused by obesity.

3. Tongtong stool: The soluble fiber contained in soybeans can both laxative and reduce cholesterol content.

4. Reduce blood sugar and lipid: Soybean contains a substance that inhibits pancreatin, which has a therapeutic effect on diabetes. The saponins contained in soybeans have a significant effect on lowering blood lipids, and at the same time, they can inhibit weight gain.

5. Soy isoflavones are phytoestrogens with a structure similar to estrogen and have estrogenic activity. They can alleviate the symptoms of female menopausal syndrome, delay female cell aging, maintain skin elasticity, nourish skin, reduce bone loss, and promote bone Generates, lowers blood lipids, etc.

For people

suitable for majority of the people.

Taboo people

Patients with acute gastritis and chronic superficial gastritis should not eat it.

Buying skills

1. Check the label: When purchasing pre-packaged soybeans, pay attention to whether the label is clear and complete, and whether the information contained is complete (whether it contains the product name, place of production, production date, place of production, net content, shelf life, manufacturer information, production license number, etc.) .

2. Look at the appearance: high-quality soybeans are bright in color, greenish green, naturally shiny, full of grains, uniform in size, rarely broken, no wormholes, and no impurities. Long-standing, stale soybeans have different color shades, dry bean grains with wrinkles, uneven particle size, poor plumpness, many broken pieces, and impurities. When carefully observed, some soybeans have small wormholes on the surface and many small particles such as worm excrement at the bottom. Most of them are worm-bearing soybeans.

3. Smell the smell: take a breath of heat to the soybeans and smell it immediately. The high-quality soybeans have a clear fragrance. The stale soybeans have a slight peculiar smell or an abnormal smell such as moldy smell. Soy beans contaminated by the reagent have a strong pungent smell.

4. Handle by hand: When consumers buy soybeans, they can put their hands into the pockets of soybeans. The high-quality soybeans are dry in texture, low in moisture, and full of particles. If you buy soybeans that feel cooler to the touch and have a damp feel after touching, it means that the soybeans have a high moisture content, which is prone to damp and mold. Try to avoid buying such soybeans.

5. Look at the texture: high-quality soybeans are hard in texture and not easily broken by hand. Inferior soybeans have a crunchy texture and are easily crushed.

6. Water immersion test to distinguish good from bad: take a small amount of soy beans bought and pour them in light salt water. Soy beans are good if they are completely immersed in water, and bad soya beans are floating on the water.
