Nature's Power Plant

It is at most 10 millimetres long and five millimetres wide, but it can unlock undreamt-of energy. It’s no exaggeration to say that the soybean puts all other snacks in the shade with its amazing nutritional value. Up to 38 percent is pure vegetable protein, and carbohydrates and fibber each make up 15 percent. The rest of it is made up of vegetable oil, phosphorous, iron, calcium, magnesium, and primarily isoflavons, vital vegetable hormones that have been proven to lower cholesterol, prevent osteoporosis and help women deal with the symptoms of menstruation and menopause.

And as if that weren’t enough, this little miracle bean contains at least 30 percent less fat than peanuts and is especially easy to chew. In short, the soybean doesn’t make just good nutritional sense, it makes good health sense. For all ages.
