Steamed soya chunks are a protein-rich vegetarian food made from defatted soy flour, often used as a meat substitute in various cuisines. Originating as a byproduct of soybean oil extraction, these chunks are lightweight and expand when cooked, taking on a chewy texture ideal for absorbing flavors in dishes. Popular in Indian, Asian, and vegetarian recipes, steamed soya chunks are packed with plant-based protein, offering nearly 50% protein content, along with essential amino acids. They are cholesterol-free, low in fat, and contain dietary fiber that aids digestion. Additionally, they provide vital nutrients like iron, calcium, and magnesium. However, while nutrient-dense, soya chunks may contain processed ingredients and should be consumed in moderation by individuals managing thyroid or hormonal balance concerns, due to natural phytoestrogens. Steaming removes excess oil or seasoning, making them a healthier preparation method for this versatile and satisfying ingredient.
