Chef's tip
Soya provides high-grade protein and is rich in nutrients. It is free from cholesterol and lactose and contains numerous secondary plant compounds.
100 g of soya bean flakes give you 90% of your recommended daily requirement of potassium and about 50% of the daily magnesium requirement of an adult. It also contains iron, folic acid, vitamin B6 and lecithin.
