About Soy

Soy, derived from the soybean plant, is a versatile and nutrient-rich food widely used in global cuisines, particularly in East Asian traditions. High in plant-based protein, it serves as a valuable source of nutrition for both vegetarians and vegans. Soy is also rich in essential amino acids, fiber, vitamins such as B-complex, and minerals like calcium, iron, and magnesium. It contains isoflavones, which are phytoestrogens linked to potential heart health and hormonal balance benefits. Popular soy-based products include tofu, soy milk, edamame, tempeh, and soy sauce. While soy can be a healthy addition to most diets, excess consumption may pose concerns for individuals with thyroid issues or sensitivities to phytoestrogens. Fermented soy products are often easier to digest and may have added probiotic benefits. As part of a balanced diet, soy is celebrated for its ability to provide sustainable protein while supporting overall health.
