For sure, every person encountered such a plant as soya, even if he did not try tofu cheese and does not tolerate soy sauce.
Soy is added to sausage and sausages, it is put in mayonnaise and confectionery, as well as it is found in pasta and almost any semi-finished products, for the preparation of which only water is needed.
Damaged use?
In soya beans contains vegetable protein, it is very close to the progeny of proteins found in eggs, milk and meat. That is why soybean so quickly copes with the feeling of hunger and does not do any harm to our figure. Soy protein contains all the amino acids that can only be found in animal protein.
If the body feels a deficiency of these substances, immunity and blood pressure may decrease, and amino acids are needed for the renewal of organs, tissues and cells. Therefore, if you try to eat only the vegetable food, be sure to include in your diet products that contain soy. For example, in Japan, a very large number of vegetarians, they average 27 kg of soybeans a year, but Europeans only 3 kg. In addition, specialists many years ago told why the Japanese live so long - it is the merit of soybeans on the table. Physicians believed that soy is able to reduce the level of harmful cholesterol in the blood, and also protects against cancer. However, recently, studies have been carried out, and it turned out that in fact, soy is not that useful - it is not possible to protect against malignant tumors and to remove cholesterolbobs.
For every person who loves soy, there is an opportunity, or rather a danger to buy a genetically modified product. It's very simple - genetics on soybeans are often experimented with. Throughout the world, it is argued that the genetically modified products are safe. But neither opponents nor supporters have enough arguments to come to one conclusion.
But it is worth remembering that all the same the prerequisites for the fact that it can do harm, and the truth exist. For example, we can say about the homeland of modified US products. Already 20 years ago people eat these products. As a result - the number of allergies increases every day, and every third child is obese. Of course, there are no reliable facts that the reason was modified food, but better protect yourself from this and not put at risk. How do I know if a modified product has been modified? The label on this is shown by the inscription "Contains GMOs", and manufacturers are obliged to apply such an inscription.
Instead
We have already analyzed that soy protein can replace animal protein, so producers of semi-finished products, in order to make products cheaper, add soya instead of meat. And as you and I know, sometimes this does not improve the taste of the products.
If you carefully study the label, you will be able to figure out what the sausage is made of. If there is an ingredient such as "vegetable protein", it is most likely that they have an aimea because of soy. Moreover, the designation of E479 and E322 is also soy. It is believed that if in meat semi-finished products does not contain more than 20% of soybeans, then it does not sound good on taste.
You can find soya beans in stores very seldom. Before eating them, soy should be soaked for 24 hours and then cook for a few hours. However, even after such tricks, the taste is, as they say, an amateur. Therefore, soy practically does not buy, but the producers have found a way out - they simply add beans to other products. For example:
- Soy meat. It seems to look like minced meat or chips. It is usually soaked in wine, milk or water, after which it is cooked like ordinary meat. Thus, out of 100 grams of soy "minced meat" comes about a pound of "meat".
- Soybean or tofu. It looks like cottage cheese. Some believe that tofu is very fresh, but if it is fried with vegetables and spices in olive oil, it will turn out very tasty.
- Yuba. Yuba is a foam from soy milk. However, we know this product as "Korean asparagus", which lies next to the Korean carrots. It tastes a bit like rubber, but if you add spices to vinegar add some spices, then you can get pretty a good snack.
By the Podsoum
On soy sauce need to be told separately. The eastern dish is unlikely to do without this ingredient. In Japan and China, the soybean sauce is replaced with salt.
To prepare ordinary soy sauce, it takes a little time. Soya is initially cleaned, then crushed and mixed with ground wheat. When this mixture begins to ferment, the liquid is not liquid, which as a result is collected and filtered. This is the well-known soybean sucker. And the sweetness of the sauce depends on how much wheat will be added to soy.
But to get the sauce just like that, you need more. Therefore, special fermentation is added there, which accelerates the fermentation process. Thus, the sauce is prepared not for a year, but only for one month. And the sauce, which is made a year, and sausage-fast cooking tastes no different. However, it must be said that manufacturers can not wait for this month even this month, so they "help" fermentation with alkalis and acids. So vsouese, as you have already understood, there are harmful impurities. Therefore, before buying soy sauce, carefully read what is written on the label. If there is an inscription "natural", then you can safely take it.
When choosing a sauce, pay attention to its color. Remember that the darker the color of the sauce, the more pronounced its taste. Dark sauce perfectly matches with meatballs, but you need to be extremely careful when adding, because you can go too far and then you will not hear the taste of meat. Sauce of light color is excellent for salads, vegetables and fish.
Remember that a good quality sauce is sold only in glass bottles. There should not be any impurities and sediment, but additional ingredients, for example, peanuts or garlic are only welcome.
It must be said that women who plan to have a baby, it is necessary to abandon the products containing soy. In America, scientists have found out that soybeans contain flavones that can be compared to real contraceptives, so they can prevent getting pregnant.
Where do they add soy?
- margarine
- mayonnaise
- milk drinks
- meat semi-finished products and sausages
- chocolate candy.
Are products dangerous?
Doctors constantly discuss on the subject of soy products. And they speak not only of danger, but also of utility.
Scientists say that after a few hours after receiving such products, blood circulation is improved by 50%. Let's see how useful soya is.
Can you eat soy for children?
Mixtures that are made on the basis of soy protein are used in the nutrition of children who are allergic to cow's milk protein. Soy products are used for 3 to 9 months, with the need to consider the appointment of products containing soy, so that there is no allergy. And this is the task of the doctor. However, you do not need to completely give milk instead of milk, because the fat content in the beans is small, and in the first years of life this will not be very good for the baby.
Has soya come to those who want to lose weight?
If a person consumes a sufficient amount of protein, then the need for fat is reduced, so weight can go. Natural soybeans contain a minimum amount of fat. If only they are cooked according to all the rules - they must be cooked with steam and water. They are even used in the treatment of obesity.
Also, studies were conducted that showed that if people with a second type of diabetes mellitus eat soy products, they can normalize the fatty-acid and protein composition of the diet, and also adjust the carbohydrate metabolism.
Natural soybeans are a product of natural origin, so they can be eaten even during fasting. But do not replace conventional foods with soy, because you can deprive the body of the right substances.
Pravdali that you can not eat soy not everyone?
Scientists have proved that soy is very useful for elderly people. It contains high quality protein, which is well absorbed and more, it contains substances that prevent the development of osteoporosis. Also soyabolzna to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, it should be noted that products containing soy can by no means be consumed by people who have impaired uric acid metabolism, because soy is higher in blood.
