By Edna Booker


The soybean has been part of diet for as long as human existence can be traced. In addition to its good flavor, it has dominated our tables for more reasons than just a good taste. It is known for its rich nutritional content, and several health benefits associated with it. Among the plant proteins, it ranks as the most favored sources of protein, and is widely recommended for vegetarians. This is reflected on the number of products made from soybeans and the increased demand for the same. Soy crisps are common products that have all other benefits just like other products from the soybeans.

In just a half cup serving of boiled soybeans, you get 150 calories, 15g of protein, 10% of with are essential amino acids, and 10 grams of fat of which 10% are unsaturated fats. However, the rich content of vitamins and mineral is what makes it a must have product in your food shelf.

It enriches the body with most of the required nutrients to guarantee that the body functions optimally. In fact, the nutritionists always encourage people to replace their snacks with healthy snack options made from soybeans. In addition to the minerals, they have good fiber content, proteins, calories, and other nutrients.

The mineral content is also very rich. The iron content for, instance, is very high, since iron plays a very important role in the manufacture of the red blood cells, it is usually recommended for patients who aim to increase blood volume. It is also a good source of energy. The recommended iron requirement for an adult male is 8 milligrams and 18 milligrams for women. Given that a single ounce of soybeans provides 1.47 milligrams of iron, this is 18% of a man's daily requirement and 8% of the woman's daily requirement.

Phosphorous is the other important mineral that you get from the soybean products. This mineral plays a very important role in DNA production, cell repair, building of body tissues, and strong bones and teeth.

The magnesium is required for proper immune function, nerve, heart, and muscles. Hundreds of biochemical reactions in the body require magnesium. In addition to this, you need it for regulating the blood pressure and blood sugar level. It is also responsible for strong bones and converting food to energy. With 20% of the required magnesium from just 1/2 cup serving, this is the right product you need.

Other than minerals and vitamins, it is also rich in protein and fiber. One ounce provides 7.5 grams of protein, which translates to 13% of 56 grams, which is the recommended daily dose for men and 16% of the 46 grams for women. Given the role protein plays such as muscle movement and building of muscles, the soybean products are best for you.

The soybean products are also rich in potassium, sodium, and several other minerals. It provides 7.5 grams protein translating to 16% of 48 grams recommended for a woman and 13% of 56 grams recommended for an adult man. This is in addition to calories, fats and other macro-nutrients you benefit from in the soy products.
