Soybeans

The earliest finds of soy seeds date back to 7,000 B.C. in northern China and 5,000 B.C. in Japan. While small seeds were still found here, large cultivated soybeans were found around 3,000 BC. Together with millet, legumes were already considered the main foodstuff in China in 500 BC. Today, soybeans are valued for their high protein content. But also other ingredients find more and more attention. Soya lecithins, chemical compounds from the soya bean, are regarded as nourishment for the nerves and a tonic. Soybeans contain 63 µg vitamin A, which can support visual function. Soya lecithin is regarded as lipid-lowering and is used as a substitute in dietary measures to lower cholesterol levels. Recently, the isoflavones of soybeans have been investigated further. They are regarded as phytoestrogens which, after closer research, can possibly be used in hormonal disorders. Our organic soybeans come from China. Directly on site one of our employees is convinced of the quality of the goods that we buy for our customers.

Use

Organic soybeans are a valuable raw material for the production of oil, which is mainly pressed for food purposes, but also to a lesser extent for the production of cosmetics. It is also used to make soy margarine. The flour made from the soybeans is used as animal feed as well as so-called “textured soy”. It is processed into soy milk and soy milk products, which have long been available in many flavors. Tofu, miso and tempeh are also produced from soy flour. Soya quark and soya ice cream are becoming more and more popular. Soy flour is used for the production of vegan dishes such as soy sausage or meatballs. The flour can also be used as an egg substitute for baking, an ideal solution for chicken egg allergy sufferers and vegans. Soya slices are also an important part of vegetarian and vegan cuisine. They form the basis for Bolognese-style sauces, lasagne fillings, chilli sin carne or sliced meat.
