Soybeans
Meet soybeans, a familiar ingredient in a breakfast cup.
Distinguish soybeans from pulses
Chinese dietary guidance discusses soy separately from other pulses. Soybeans, adzuki beans and mung beans should not be assumed to have the same nutritional composition simply because they are all beans.
Check the blend and preparation
Soy-and-grain drinks may use different combinations of ingredients. Their nutrition and texture vary with the recipe. Read the full ingredient list and complete the preparation specified on the pack.
Consider your own dietary needs
People with a soy allergy should avoid blends containing soy. If you have a specific dietary restriction, use the full ingredient information and appropriate professional advice, rather than a wellness-themed name.
