Beans, soya, dried, raw

Soya beans are a type of legume. These figures describe whole dried, raw beans, rather than cooked beans. They provide protein, fat and carbohydrate, along with several vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 36g of protein, 19g of fat, 16g of carbohydrate and 370µg of folate.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while folate is needed for normal red blood cell formation. Soya beans need to be cooked before eating, following preparation instructions. Cooking increases their water content, so the figures for dried beans should not be used directly for the same weight of cooked beans. Soya is also a food allergen.
