soya (soy) A
bean (
Glycine max) important as a source of both oil and protein. The protein is of higher nutritional value than that of many other vegetables. When raw it contains a
trypsin inhibitor, which is destroyed by heat. Native of China, where it has been cultivated for 5000 years; grows 60–100 cm high with 2–3 beans per pod. Contains indigestible sugars,
stachyose, and
raffinose, which can cause
flatulence. A 100‐g portion of boiled beans is a good
source of protein and iron; a source of niacin and calcium; provides 6 g of dietary fibre; supplies 140 kcal (590 kJ). Also a rich source of
phytoestrogens.
