About Soya bean chunk

Soya bean chunks are protein-rich food products made from defatted soy flour, a byproduct of the soybean oil extraction process. Originating from soybean cultivation, they are widely used in Asian, Indian, and vegetarian cuisines as a meat substitute due to their texture and ability to absorb flavors. Soya chunks are highly nutritious, offering a significant amount of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential amino acids, making them an excellent choice for muscle building and overall health. They are naturally cholesterol-free and low in saturated fat, which supports heart health. However, they may be high in sodium in processed forms and should be consumed in moderation by individuals sensitive to soy or prone to hormonal imbalances. Versatile and easy to cook, soya chunks are ideal for curries, stir-fries, soups, and salads, promoting a well-balanced diet for vegetarians and health-conscious eaters alike.
