Soya beans are a member of the pea (legume) family of vegetables that have been a staple of Asian cuisine for thousands of years. Soya bean-based foods are particularly common among vegetarians and vegans. This is because of their high-quality and complete protein content; and their ability to be transformed into milk and plant-based meat.

Soya beans contain phytoestrogens, which are hormone-like compounds that imitate the activity of the hormone oestrogen and have been linked to positive health effects. Consuming soya bean products can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, coronary heart disease (CHD), and certain cancers and improve bone health.
