In the rich menu of Chinese people, bean products, with their unique taste and rich nutritional value, have become an indispensable part of everyone's table. Today, let's step into the world of soy products together, explore their knowledge, and savor the dual feast of nutrition and deliciousness they bring.

1、 Definition and classification of soy products

Soy products, as the name suggests, are foods made primarily from soybeans and processed through a series of procedures. They not only retain the nutritional essence of soybeans, but also present a variety of flavors and tastes through different production processes. Soy products can be roughly divided into two categories: non fermented soy products and fermented soy products. Non fermented bean products, such as tofu, soybean milk, dried tofu, are the most common in our daily diet; Fermented bean products, such as fermented bean curd and bean paste, bring a new experience to our taste buds with their unique flavor and taste.

2、 The nutritional value of soy products

The reason why soy products are widely loved is closely related to their rich nutritional value. They are rich in high-quality protein and easy to digest and absorb, making them an ideal choice for vegetarians and those who need to control their protein intake. In addition, soy products are rich in minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron, as well as vitamins B and E, which help maintain bone health and promote metabolism. It is worth mentioning that phytochemicals such as soy isoflavones in soy products also have health benefits such as antioxidant, cholesterol lowering, and prevention of cardiovascular disease.

In the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2024), it is recommended that adults consume 25g of soybeans every day and replace it with soy products, which is equivalent to 75g of northern tofu, 140g of old tofu, 360g of soybean milk, 55g of dried tofu, 175g of fat tofu, and 50g of vegetarian chicken. These soy products can be purchased through both online channels such as Tramy Yunchao and offline stores such as Tramy Fresh Food.

3、 Suggested consumption of soy products

While enjoying the deliciousness and nutrition brought by soy products, it is important to consume them in moderation. Although soy products are rich in nutrients, excessive intake can also lead to nutritional imbalance or indigestion. There are many types of soy products, and different types of soy products have different tastes and nutritional values. In order to obtain more comprehensive nutrition, it is recommended to choose a variety of soy products and avoid long-term single consumption. In addition, for people who need to control their salt intake, they can choose low salt or salt free soy products to reduce their sodium intake.

4、 Cooking techniques for soy products

There are various cooking methods for soy products, including frying, stir frying, stewing, boiling, steaming, and more. Flexibly adjust ingredient combinations and seasoning usage based on personal taste and preferences. Soybean milk can be used with various grains, nuts, etc. to make nutritious breakfast; Tofu can be paired with vegetables to promote calcium absorption and increase dietary fiber intake (small tip: avoid eating with oxalic acid rich foods such as spinach and amaranth to avoid affecting the absorption of calcium in soy products); Tofu can also be paired with meat and other ingredients to create dishes with excellent color, aroma, and taste. At the same time, we can also enhance the taste and flavor of soy products by adding appropriate seasonings such as soy sauce, vinegar, chili, etc.

5、 Selection and storage of soy products

When choosing soy products, pay attention to the appearance, smell, and texture of the products. High quality soy products should have uniform color, no odor, and delicate texture. At the same time, pay attention to the packaging and labeling information of the product to ensure its safety and quality. When storing soy products, they should be stored reasonably according to the type of product and storage conditions. For bean products that need to be refrigerated, such as tofu, soybean milk, etc., they should be stored in the refrigerator as soon as possible; For bean products that can be stored at room temperature, such as dried tofu and Rolls of dried bean milk creams, they should be stored in a cool and dry place to avoid direct sunlight and humid environment, so as to preserve their richest taste and highest nutritional value.
