Soybeans are nutrient-dense legumes originating from East Asia, widely used in global cuisines and considered a primary protein source in vegetarian and vegan diets. Packed with plant-based protein, they also contain essential amino acids needed for muscle repair and growth. Soybeans are rich in fiber, supporting healthy digestion, and offer key vitamins and minerals such as folate, potassium, magnesium, and iron. They are especially known for their high levels of isoflavones, plant compounds that may promote heart health and aid hormonal balance. Regular consumption has been linked to reduced cholesterol and improved bone health. However, some individuals may be sensitive to soy or its isoflavones, and moderation is recommended for those with thyroid concerns. Soybeans are versatile, found in products like tofu, soy milk, and edamame, making them a staple in cuisines such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Their nutritional properties make them a valuable addition to balanced diets.
