Soybean aka Edamame, Good or Bad ?

It's feel very good while I saw my vegetable plants very healthy, cooking with eggplant, tomato, chilli, lemon basil, sweet basil, rosemary and green onion, fresh from my garden !

Hot Chilli

Next year, be sure, I'll planting more vegetable, like zucchini and soybean, edamame (young soybeans) a yummy snack, have a good nutrients, contain all three of the macro-nutrients required for good nutrition: complete protein, carbohydrate and fat, as well as vitamins and minerals, including calcium, folic acid and iron..

I'm growing up drinking homemade soymilk and eating tempeh and tofu made by local almost daily and all my big family didn't have any side effect from soybean..

But recently I read an article online about soybean dark side, I don't know it's true or not, (hope not !) they said that soybean can damage your health, because soybean also contains ;

~ Goitrogens, substances that depress thyroid function.

~ Haemagglutinin, a clot-promoting substance that causes red blood cells to clump together.

~ Large quantities of natural toxins or "anti nutrients".

~ etc... etc... etc..........

More you read it, make you scare to eat soybean, even you love to eat it !

The good news is, it's okay eat soybean if not too much or for your daily food.

Since 2 years ago, I stop drinking soymilk from the store, just because I'm not sure where they soybean come from.. I'm switch to almond milk with non GMO almond on their ingredients label...
Sometimes I'm still make my home made soymilk with organic soybean, it is very easy to make and always taste better than store brought..
 

Well, keep eat tempeh, tofu and eat edamame..... and make sure your soybean non GMO!
