Benefits of Soyabeans & Bean Curd

Tofu, which is also known as Soya Bean Curd, is high in protein, low in saturated fats, a good source of calcium as well as vitamin E and it is also cholesterol free. The micronutrient content of the soyabeans may promote bone health, and reduce the risk of both cardiovascular disease and hormone-related cancers.

Steamed Tofu is particularly good for vegetarians, it gives the meat eater a plentiful supply of calcium which is derived from the calcium sulphate, as well as phosphorous and iron. Tofu is therefore a good substitute for meat in many vegetarian recipes.

Moreover, recent studies have shown that Soya beans and its products from play a role in preventing many cancers, particularly breast cancer. It has also shown to have preventative capacity with regards to osteoporosis and symptoms related to menopause.
