Soybeans

Soybeans
(Soybeans) Soybeans are not generally sold in supermarkets, but they are available at health food stores and from co-ops.  Some of the most common uses of soybeans are in making textured vegetable protein (TVP), soy milk, and tofu.  Soybeans have been grown in China for over 3,000 years, but are now grown in many parts of the world.  Soybeans must be cooked in order for the protein to be digested.  See our nutritional charts for raw and cooked soybeans.

Soybeans, mature seeds, raw

Vegan FlagThe above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
