Soya mince, granules

Soya mince is a processed food made from soya beans and used as an alternative to minced meat. The form described here is granules. Per 100g, the supplied data show 43g of protein, 11g of carbohydrate, 5.4g of fat and 11g of salt. Protein is its main macronutrient.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. These granules also provide minerals, including iron and calcium, which contribute to normal body functions. The reported salt content is high, which is relevant for people monitoring their salt intake. Salt content can vary between products, so product labels provide useful context.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 samples of the same brand (Cross and Blackwell)). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: Vegetable Dishes Supplement, 1992.
