Benefits of the Soybean Patty • No cholesterol – Not only do soybeans have no cholesterol but they can help lower blood cholesterol. • Safe for those that are lactose intolerant and those who have wheat allergies. • Soybeans provide a balanced vegetarian source of protein. • Soybeans provide dietary fiber, lecithin, essential fatty acids and iron. • Contain high concentration of phyto-estrogens predominantly isoflavones

7. Soybean Benefits Cholesterol • Lower risk for heart disease - Soy significantly decreases LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels, and can also raise HDL ("good") cholesterol levels. • Soy can prevent the oxidation of bad cholesterol. Oxidation makes arteries clog more readily. • Soybean has high lecithin content and is therefore excellent for mental fatigue and for protection against cholesterol deposits.

9. Protein, Fat & Essential Fatty Acid Soybeans are considered a high quality protein source comparable to meat and dairy. They are about 40% protein by weight. Soybean oil is 61% polyunsaturated fat and 24% monounsaturated fat Soybeans contain two essential fatty acids, omega 3 and in higher concentrations omega 6

10. Processing Our soybeans were soaked for 48 hours and boiled for 2 hours. Soybeans need to be soaked and cooked several hours to help neutralize phytate concentration, trypsin inhibitors and indigestible oligosaccharides. Phytates prevent mineral absorption and enzyme inhibitors prevent protein breakdown.
