Soya Beans

Soybeans contain antioxidants and phytonutrients that are linked to various health benefits. However, concerns have been raised about potential adverse effects. Soybeans are mainly composed of protein but also contain good amounts of carbs and fat.

Being low in carbs, whole soybeans are very low on the glycemic index (GI), which is a measure of how foods affect the rise in blood sugar after a meal.

This low GI makes soybeans suitable for people with diabetes.
