I noticed that when viewing the news, the boxes that the Canadian rescuers are bringing to Haiti say "Soya" or "Soy" on them. The ships and airplanes were full of these boxes.
Is this the bean that is high in protein ? I think so.
"The gold standard for measuring protein quality, since 1990, is the
Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) and by this criterion
soy protein is the nutritional equivalent of meat, eggs, and
casein for
human growth and health. Soybean protein isolate has a
biological value of 74, whole soybeans 96, soybean milk 91, and eggs 97.
[12]
Soy protein is essentially identical to that of other legume seeds.
[13] Moreover, it has the highest yield per square meter of growing area, and is the least expensive source of dietary protein."
I did not know this !
They are also giving the Haities powerful energy biscuits/cookies. I would like to know what the ingredients are.
