Soya beans are highly nutritious and beneficial due to their high content of protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals. They are rich in isoflavones, compounds that can have a positive effect on health, such as reducing the risk of heart disease and menopausal symptoms, as well as supporting bone health.

They can be used in a variety of ways. Before use, soya beans should be soaked overnight to soften. Afterwards, they can be cooked and added to various dishes such as salads, soups and stews. They can also be used to make soya milk, tofu, tempeh and other soya-based products. It is important to cook soya beans before consumption to reduce the presence of certain anti-nutritional substances and improve digestibility.
