SOY FOODS DEFINED Soybeans Are Small, Round, Brown Or Black Beans with a Unique Nutrition Profile SOY FOODS DEFINED Soybeans are small, round, brown or black beans with a unique nutrition profile. This bean contains health promoting protein and constituents, such as isoflavones, saponins, and phytosterols. The isoflavones, primarily genistein and daidzein, have been well researched for their antioxidant and phytoestrogenic properties.1 Saponins enhance immune function and bind to cholesterol to limit its absorption in the intestine. Phytosterols and other components of soy have been reported to lower cholesterol levels.2 This food is a good addition to a whole foods diet for those without an allergy or sensitivity to it. Keep in mind, the healthy components of soy are found only in products made from the whole soybean. Byproducts of soybeans, such as soybean oil and soy sauce, do not contain these healthful compounds, but can be used to complement soy foods. Whole Soybeans: You can find whole soybeans in several versions; green, dry, canned, frozen, or roasted. The green soybeans, called Edamame, are harvested when the beans are still green and sweet tasting. They can be served as a snack by popping them out of their pods or a main vegetable dish, after boiling in slightly salted water after 10-12 minutes. The dry version is usually found in the bulk section and can be stored for long periods of time. Cooked soybeans, both yellow and black, are available in cans. These beans expand greatly when cooked. One cup of dried beans becomes 2 to 3 cups of cooked beans. Soaking shortens the cooking time and improves the flavor, digestibility, and nutrient content. Soak beans in 4 cups of water for each cup of beans for 12 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse the beans, then add 4 cups of fresh water for each cup of beans you started with. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and skim off excess foam. Simmer about 3 hours, add more water if needed, until beans are tender. They will remain somewhat firm. NOTE: Black soybeans cook in only about 1 ½ hours. Option: cook with onion, garlic or bay leaf. TIP: Do not add salt or acidic ingredients (such as tomatoes, lemon juice or vinegar) to soybeans until they are thoroughly cooked. Acidic products delay the softening process. However, you may add these when cooking black soybeans to help them retain their shape. Tofu: According to Chris Kilham, author of the book Whole Food Bible, tofu is often called bean curd, as it is made with soybeans, water and a type of coagulant that forms the soy curd. Tofu is made by pureeing soaked soybeans in water, then cooking the puree in boiling water. After this, the puree must be strained and the soy milk left over is curdled with one of three natural mineral coagulants--calcium chloride, calcium sulfate and nigari. The latter feature is a combination of magnesium chloride with several trace elements extracted from seawater. A Tofu Fact Sheet available from Nasoya Foods, notes that four textures and consistencies of tofu can be formed through the manipulation of the tofu-making process: • Extra Firm Tofu: "Ideal for use in stir fry, cutlets or in dishes where the tofu needs to maintain its shape. Extra firm tofu has a higher percentage of protein." • Firm Tofu: "Perfect for slicing, dicing, pan frying and used as a filling or stuffing. It is also an excellent extender for meatloaf." • Soft Tofu: This variety has a soft consistency and is great for sauces, soups and salads. It is an important source of protein and calcium." • SilkenTofu: “With a delicate, custard-like consistency, this variety is the best choice for recipes that call for blended or pureed tofu. Silken tofu is perfect for desserts, soups, dressings and dips.” Tempeh, a fermented pressed soybean cake, has its origins in Indonesia. Kilham asserts that tempeh "is possibly the single best source of complete protein....Tempeh contains 19.5% protein and is a good source of fiber, B vitamins, and calcium." Similar to tofu, tempeh also is bland tasting and also assimilates the flavor of what is used to prepare it. Tempeh is made through the exposure of cooked and cooled hulled soybeans to a friendly bacteria known as Rhizopus oligosporous. Following the CF183 – Updated 6/03 1 inoculation of the bacteria, the soybeans are "bound in a porous wrap and stored briefly until they are transformed into firm cakes by a network of white fibers produced by the bacteria," explains the author. Note that the occasional dark spots on tempeh do not render it spoiled; they are only the harmless culture-produced spores. Tempeh can be broiled, baked, and stir-fried and used in soups, sauces, sandwiches, casseroles, dips and salads. Miso: This is a fermented soybean paste, which has its roots in Japan. It is produced by cooking soybeans in sea water followed by inoculation of the beans with a live culture of the Aspergillus oryzae bacteria, known as koji. This mixture is then aged under pressure. Because it is heavily salted, miso contains high quantities of sodium, but it is abundant in minerals, protein, and B vitamins. Depending on how long it is aged, the miso will exhibit different flavoring and coloring characteristics. Young miso, typically aged between two and six months, has a somewhat sweet, mild taste, and is often recommended for salad dressings, soups and sauces. Older miso, aged between six months and three years, is much heartier and saltier, and it exhibits a dark or reddish color. Older miso is more suitable for gravies, stews and heavier types of dishes. Soy Sprouts: Soybeans can be sprouted in the same manner as other beans and seeds. Soy sprouts must be cooked quickly at low heat so they don't get mushy. They can also be used raw in salads or soups, or in stir-fried, sautéed, or baked dishes. Soy Yogurt: Cultured from soymilk, using active bacteria cultures, soy yogurt is lactose and cholesterol free. It can be found in lots of flavors and be sure to look for “live cultures.” Soy Flour: Soy flour is made from roasted soybeans ground into a fine powder. All soy flour gives a protein boost to recipes. Soy flour is gluten-free so yeast-raised breads made with soy flour are more dense in texture. Soy Milk: The liquid extracted from cooked crushed soybeans is available in regular, low-fat, non-fat, plain, and flavored. There are also fortified versions with extra calcium, B12 and other nutrients. It can be used instead of dairy milk in any recipe or as a beverage. NOTE: Light or low-fat versions tend to contain less soy protein and a lower amount of isoflavones. Other soy food items not mentioned include soy cheese, meat substitutes, soy nut butter, soy protein isolate, textured soy protein or TVP. If you are interested in protein and isoflavone amounts the following chart will help. FOOD SOY PROTEIN (g) ESTIMATED ISOFLAVONES (mg) Soymilk (1 cup) 10 40 Tofu (1/2 cup) 8 40 Tempeh (1/2 cup) 17 40 Miso (1/2 cup) 8 40 TVP (1/2 cup) 11 35 Soy Flour (1/2 cup) 10 50 Cooked Soybeans (1/2 cup) 14 35 Soy Nuts (1/2 cup) 34 50 Isolated Protein Powder (1 oz) 23 25 Once the soybean has been excessively processed, the remaining content of isoflavones and other constituents is questionable. Therefore, it may be better to focus less on soy burgers, soy hot dogs, and soy lunch meat and more on tempeh, miso, soy yogurt, soy milk, soy flour, and whole soy beans to get the maximum nutrition from this food.

  • SOY -- OH BOY! Things to Consider About This Not Always Healthy Health Food
    SOY -- OH BOY! Things To Consider About This Not Always Healthy Health Food Authored by Kelly Hayford, C.N.C. (More information can be found at http://foodfitnessbyphone.com/articles/soy.htm Food Factoid : Over 60% of processed foods contain soy or soy derivatives. People frequently ask me what I think about soy, expecting that I will respond with a simple "it's good" or "it's bad" for you. Instead, I frequently reply with a sign and then say "soy - oh, boy!" -- because the answer is a little more complicated than that. Following are some... Things To Consider About Soy Soy is one of the most common food allergens. It contains a protein enzyme inhibitor that prevents it from being properly digested. Symptoms range from digestive disturbances such as gas and bloating to severe depression and anxiety. To compound the problem, 60% or more of America's soybean crop is genetically engineered (GE) which increases its potential for allergic reactions and digestive disturbances. Regardless of the health benefits you may have heard associated with soy, if you can't digest it properly, it won't do you any good and may in fact, be causing you harm. Asian women have very low rates of menopausal complaints, heart disease, breast cancer and osteoporosis . The soy industry, with little evidence to support their claims, attributes this to soy foods being a regular part of the Asian diet. These popular claims disregard extensive research that shows otherwise, and also disregard other dietary and lifestyle factors at play in Asian cultures. For example, the traditional Asian diet contains primarily whole, natural foods and little to no processed foods, while the American diet is made up of primarily processed foods.

  • Soybean, Nutrition and Health
    Chapter 20 Soybean, Nutrition and Health Sherif M. Hassan Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/54545 1. Introduction Soybean (Glycine max L.) is a species of legume native to East Asia, widely grown for its edi‐ ble bean which has several uses. This chapter will focuses on soybean nutrition and soy food products, and describe the main bioactive compounds in the soybean and their effects on human and animal health. 2. Soybean and nutrition Soybean is recognized as an oil seed containing several useful nutrients including pro‐ tein, carbohydrate, vitamins, and minerals. Dry soybean contain 36% protein, 19% oil, 35% carbohydrate (17% of which dietary fiber), 5% minerals and several other compo‐ nents including vitamins [1]. Tables 1 and 2 show the different nutrients content of soy‐ bean and its by-products [2] Soybean protein is one of the least expensive sources of dietary protein [3]. Soybean protein is considered to be a good substituent for animal protein [4], and their nutritional profile ex‐ cept sulfur amino acids (methionine and cysteine) is almost similar to that of animal protein because soybean proteins contain most of the essential amino acids required for animal and human nutrition. Researches on rats indicated that the biological value of soy protein is sim‐ ilar to many animal proteins such as casein if enriched with the sulfur-containing amino acid methionine [5]. According to the standard for measuring protein quality, Protein Di‐ gestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score, soybean protein has a biological value of 74, whole soybeans 96, soybean milk 91, and eggs 97[6].

  • Gluten-Free Products Shopping List
    GLUTEN-FREE PRODUCTS SHOPPING LIST The items on this shopping list, to the best of our knowledge, are made without gluten or any ingredients derived from gluten-containing grains, such as wheat, barley, rye, spelt or kamut. It is possible that products labeled gluten-free may come into contact with gluten during manufacturing. However, with the current FDA guidelines, any product labeled gluten-free should have less than 20 parts per million (ppm), which is considered a safe amount for most individuals following a gluten-free diet. People who have celiac disease and individuals who are exquisitely sensitive may still have a reaction to foods with measurable, although tiny, amounts of gluten. In this case, it is helpful to find companies that produce products in a dedicated gluten-free facility or that are part of a certification program. Products with this symbol are certified by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization, and tested for less than 10 ppm. For more information visit their webpage at www.gfco.org. This list also indicates whether the gluten-free foods listed contain dairy, soy or egg in the ingredients. If soy lecithin is the source of soy in the product, (SL) will appear after the product description. Visit our website at www.newseasonsmarket.com for a list of our regularly scheduled complimentary gluten- free products store tours.
