Soy Beans
Having high levels of protein, soy beans are also known for offering similar nutrients to meat.
A wide variety of Japanese foodstuffs are produced from soy beans including soy sauce, miso paste, tofu, the fermented natto, and the new Western favourite, edamame.
Soy flour is widely used as the basis of meat and dairy substitutes, and for that reason, people who are allergic to soya must study ingredients lists closely.
