About Soja

Soja, commonly known as soy, is a versatile legume native to East Asia and widely used in global cuisines. It serves as a staple ingredient in products like tofu, soy milk, edamame, soy sauce, and tempeh. Rich in high-quality plant protein, soja is an excellent option for vegetarians and vegans. It contains essential nutrients, including iron, calcium, magnesium, and B vitamins, as well as heart-healthy unsaturated fats. Isoflavones, a type of natural compound found in soy, may offer antioxidant and potential hormonal balance benefits. However, individuals with soy allergies or concerns about phytoestrogens should exercise caution. Soy-based foods are celebrated in cuisines like Japanese, Chinese, and Korean for their adaptability and nutritional richness. When consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, soja can support weight management, muscle health, and overall wellness. Opting for minimally processed soy products is generally a healthier choice.
