About Soya chunks
Soya chunks, derived from defatted soy flour, are a protein-rich food commonly used as a meat substitute in vegetarian and vegan cuisine. Originating from soybeans, these dehydrated nuggets are widely popular in Indian, Asian, and global recipes due to their versatility and chewy, meat-like texture. Packed with plant-based protein, they are an excellent source of dietary fiber, essential amino acids, calcium, and iron. Soya chunks are low in cholesterol and saturated fat, making them a heart-healthy alternative to meat. However, they should be consumed in moderation, as excessive intake might affect hormonal balance due to their phytoestrogen content. To prepare, they are soaked or boiled to rehydrate and can then absorb flavors from spices, curries, or marinades. Easy to cook and nutritionally dense, soya chunks are a valuable addition to balanced meals geared toward protein intake and overall health.
