Soybean – Its history and Importance

Soya bean is considered to be a protein rich food. Since human

body does not retain proteins, it is often found to be deficient in

protein. This is where it becomes all the more important for you to

include protein in your diet. And what better food that Soybean, if

it is protein that you are looking for.

Let’s check out what the Wikipedia has to say about Soybeans –

The soybean (U.S.) or soya bean (UK) (commonly misspelled

"Soyabean") (Glycine max) is a species of legume native to East

Asia. The plant is classed as an oilseed rather than a pulse. It is an

annual plant that has been used in China for 5,000 years to

primarily add nitrogen into the soil as part of crop rotation. The

plant is sometimes referred to as greater bean (China).

The English word "soy" is derived from the Japanese pronunciation

of shōyu, the Japanese word for soya sauce; "soya" comes from the

Dutch adaptation of the same word.

Fat-free (defatted) soybean meal is a primary, relatively low-cost,

source of protein for animal feeds or rations; soy vegetable oil is

another valuable product of processing the soybean crop. Soybean

products such as TVP (textured vegetable protein), for example, are

important ingredients in many meat and dairy analogues; and very

safe in combination with ground beef etc. Soybeans are the only

legume containing all nine essential amino acids (the only proteins

the human body can't manufacture on its own). Soybeans have no

cholesterol and are low in saturated fats and sodium. They are an

Page 4: A Collection of Soya Bean Recipes

Copy right © 2009-2010, http://www.thetastesofindia.com

excellent source of dietary fiber. They are high in iron, calcium, B

vitamins, zinc, lecithin, phosphorous and magnesium. (However, it

is important to note that a lot of this goodness in lost or diminished

by processing soybeans. Tofu, for example, contains 28 percent less

iron, only 10 percent of the fiber and B vitamins and none of the

vitamins A and C found in cooked whole soybeans.)

Soybeans contain over 35 percent protein by weight—which is

more than any other unprocessed plant or animal food. An acre of

soybeans produces between ten and twenty times more useable

proteins than an equivalent acre used to graze beef cattle. Despite

the exaggeration of protein needs in North America, high-protein

crops are more necessary as it becomes increasingly expensive and

dangerous to eat at the top of the food chain. Even commercial

soybeans are relatively free of chemical toxins. Meat, fish and

poultry have about twenty times and dairy foods about four and

one half times more pesticide residues than soybeans. Similarly,

soybeans contain fewer radioactive residues and no synthetic

hormone additives.

The drought tolerance of soybeans is a

special asset as it is very evident that

water will become a most precious

resource in the coming decades. Nor are

soybeans heavy feeders; they require

minimal fertilizer and are nitrogen-fixing

plants that enrich the soil. Also, the fact

that soybeans can be simply cooked and

eaten keeps energy output minimal.

Freezing and canning are unnecessary, as are fancy plastic

packages.

Benefits of Soybean –

Some benefits of Soybean are as follows:

1. Lowers Blood Pressure and Cholesterol in Men – Research

shows that daily intake of at least 20 grams of soy protein

including 80 mg of isoflavones for a minimum of 5 weeks can

be effective in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease in

high-risk, middle-aged men. Some studies have even shown

that soy protein may be able to raise good (HDL) cholesterol

levels. In addition, soybeans also contain a lot of fiber. When

eaten, the fiber in soybeans binds to the fats and the

cholesterol in the food, thus ensuring that only very less of it

is absorbed.

2. Beneficial Effects on

Platelets – This is another

way in which soy provides

cardiovascular protection.

It promotes the

production of

prostacyclin, a potent

natural inhibitor of

platelet aggregation and a

powerful blood vessel

wall dilator.

3. Special Benefits for Women Bones – Consumption of soy

foods regularly for just 6 months can prove beneficial on bone

in menopausal women. Almost all the traditional soy foods

(tofu, soy milk, tempeh and miso) provide 30 to 40 mg

isoflavones per serving. Roasted soybeans are an especially

good source; just one-half cup contains 167 mg of isoflavones.

4. Stabilize Blood Sugar – Soybeans can be very beneficial in

diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes. Soy protein is excellent

for diabetic patients, who have problems with animal sources

of protein. The protein and fiber in soybeans also prevent

high blood sugar levels and help in keeping blood sugar levels

under control.

5. Promote Gastrointestinal Health - The cancer-protective

substance called soy glucosylceramide may reduce colon

cancer risk. While other plants also contain sphingolipids, soy

contains relatively high amounts of glucosylceramide.

6. Rich source of fiber – Soybean is rich in fiber and this provides

preventative therapy for several other conditions. Fiber has

the ability to bind cancer-causing toxins and remove them

from the body, thus preventing damage to colon cells. High-

fiber soybeans may be able to help reduce the risk of colon

cancer. Parts of the world where soybean is a primary food,

has shown very less cases of cancers particularly colon cancer

and breast cancer.
