Beans, soya, dried, boiled in unsalted water

Soya beans are legumes. The figures here describe whole dried soya beans that have been boiled in unsalted water. They provide mainly protein and fat, with some carbohydrate. Per 100g, they contain 14g of protein, 7.3g of fat and 5.1g of carbohydrate, with an energy content of 590 kJ.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Soya beans also provide iron, which is needed to make haemoglobin, the substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen. These figures apply to beans cooked without added salt; adding salt or sauces can change the salt content of the finished dish. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
