Soybeans are nutrient-dense legumes originating from East Asia, widely used in global cuisines. Rich in high-quality protein, they are a staple in vegetarian and vegan diets, often processed into tofu, tempeh, soy milk, and soy sauce. They are an excellent source of essential amino acids, fiber, iron, calcium, and B vitamins, along with beneficial plant compounds like isoflavones, which may support heart health and bone strength. Soybeans are low in saturated fat and contain no cholesterol, further promoting cardiovascular health. However, they are also known as a common allergen and may interfere with thyroid function in people with specific conditions if consumed in excess. Moderation and variety in consumption ensure soybeans remain a beneficial addition to a balanced diet. Their versatility makes them a favorite in Asian, vegetarian, and fusion dishes worldwide.
