When it comes to a versatile food, it is hard to beat the soybean.
Soybeans not only offer great health benefits, but they are easy to add
to your diet and they taste good. You are probably already eating more
soy-based foods than you realize. When you read the label on some of
your favorite prepared foods you may notice that some type of soy
product is listed on the label - like lecithin, textured soy protein,
soy protein concentrates and many more. Over 75 percent of vegetable
oils and fats on the market today are soybean oil. Soybeans are popular
in food manufacturing because of their versatility.
The soyfood descriptions listed here represent the most common soyfoods
on the market today. Some of these foods may be familiar, and others may
be new. All of them are worth trying.
Most items may be purchased through natural, health or Asian food
stores. Some, like tofu and soybean oil, can be found in supermarkets.
If you have questions about these soyfoods don't hesitate to call one of

Edamame (Sweet Beans)
Edamame, also known as "Sweet Beans," comes from large soybeans
harvested when the beans are still green. These sweet tasting beans can
be served as a snack or a main vegetable dish. They are high in protein
and fiber, and contain no cholesterol. Edamame often is found in Asian
and natural food stores.
Food Use Soybeans (Whole Soybeans)
As soybeans mature in the pod they ripen into a hard, dry bean. Most
soybeans are yellow. However, there are brown and black varieties. The
eight essential amino acids found in soybeans are necessary for human
nutrition. Whole soybeans (an excellent source of protein and dietary
fiber) can be cooked (similar to cooking other dry beans) and used in
sauces, stews and soups. Whole soybeans that have been soaked can be
roasted for snacks. Whole soybeans can be purchased in natural food
stores and some supermarkets.
Organically Grown Soybeans
These are similar to Food Use Soybeans, except they are produced without
the use of agricultural chemicals.
Isolated Soy Proteins
When soybeans are processed, the hulls and oil are removed, leaving
"defatted flakes." Soy flakes are used for defatted soy flour, soy
concentrates and soy isolates. When protein is removed from defatted
flakes the result is soy protein isolates, the most highly refined soy
protein. Containing 92 percent protein, soy protein isolates possess the
greatest amount of protein of all soy products. They are a highly
digestible source of amino acids (building blocks of protein necessary
for human growth and maintenance).
Lecithins
Extracted from soybean oil, lecithin is used in food manufacturing as an
emulsifier in products high in fats and oils. They also promote
stabilization, antioxidation, crystallization and spattering control.
Powdered lecithins can be found in natural and health food stores.
