Soybeans include common soybeans, black beans, and green beans. In addition, other types such as lentils, mung beans, peas, and kidney beans belong to the category of miscellaneous beans. Soybeans are highly nutritious, and eating a piece of tofu every day can effectively supplement sufficient nutrients.
The "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents" stipulates that the daily intake of soybeans must be guaranteed. However, many people confuse soybeans with other beans. Soybeans include common soybeans, black beans, and green beans. In addition, other types such as lentils, mung beans, peas, and kidney beans belong to the category of miscellaneous beans.
In terms of nutritional value, the protein content in soybeans and other beans differs significantly. The protein content in these three types of beans—soybeans, green beans, and black beans—is generally around 35% per 100 grams. Soy protein contains all the essential amino acids needed by the human body, making it a complete protein, also known as high-quality protein, which is more easily digested and absorbed by the body. In contrast, 100 grams of lentils contain 25.3 grams of protein, mung beans 21.6 grams, peas 20.3 grams, and kidney beans 21.4 grams, which is much less than that of soybeans.

Therefore, it is recommended to eat a piece of tofu every day, with a weight of about 150 grams. Tofu is divided into southern and northern styles. If you eat northern tofu, you can stew it in soy sauce or boil it and dip it in sauce. If you eat southern tofu, it can be used for cold dishes or tofu soup.
If you don't like tofu, you can also substitute it with soy milk, tofu pudding, dried tofu, etc. During the processing of these soy products, they generally undergo treatments such as soaking, fine grinding, and heating, which destroys the trypsin inhibitors they contain and removes most of the cellulose. Therefore, the rate of digestion and absorption is significantly improved.
