There is enough information out there about certain healthy food items that should be included in your diet. And, soybean happens to be one of the most discussed food items in today’s time. Be it for people who hit the gym every day or those who prefer a plant-based diet as their source of nutrition, soybean remains to be a go-to food item for a lot of people. Also, there are many interesting ways to relish this food item. However, for almost every dish that’s prepared with it, the soya chunks are first soaked in water before the final cooking process. Do you know exactly why this process is followed? Chef Kunal Kapur has shared a video on Instagram under the title “Kunal’s Tips & Tricks” stating the reason behind the same.

Going by the video, the chef shared that you need to soak soya chunks in water to get rid of the strong pungent smell they carry. Once, you soak them for about half an hour to forty-five minutes in water, just press them and squeeze out the extra liquid from them. This will transfer that odour (strong flavour/small) from the chunks into the water. He also mentioned that if you don’t have much time, you can directly boil the soya chunks in water.
Soya chunks, in general, should be an integral part of your diet. Here are some of the health benefits of soya:
· It’s important to note that soybean is the only vegetarian food item known for providing complete protein (it contains all eight essential amino acids).
· Soya is low in fat with zero cholesterol and makes for an excellent source of fibre which makes the process of digestion easier.
· It is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids which help in maintaining a healthy heart.
· Soya products are lactose and gluten-free
· If you talk about the other nutrients of soybean, it’s loaded with B-vitamins, iron, zinc and antioxidants.
We hope these health benefits convinced you to add soya to your meals.
