Edible Soy Protein
The Complete Protein Source
Soybeans are the only vegetable food that contain complete protein Ð a primary component of all cells. Complete protein is essential to build and repair body tissue and to manufacture vital enzymes that are specific catalysts for many of the chemical reactions that take place in the body. The quality of soy protein matches that of animal protein, so consumers can get the protein they need in a healthy, nutritious way.
- The soybean is composed of 40% protein.
- Soybeans are cholesterol-free and low in saturated fat.
