This is a picture of soybeans, the embodiment of "meat from the field." *Aside from the main topic Q. Why are soybeans called "meat from the field"? A. (Gemini) There are three main reasons why soybeans are called "meat from the field": 1. Abundant protein Soybeans are rich in protein, comparable to that found in meat. Protein is an important nutrient for building muscles, organs, and skin. While animal protein is high in fat, soybean protein is plant-based, making it low in fat and healthy. 2. High amino acid score Protein is made up of about 20 small molecules called amino acids. Of these, nine essential amino acids cannot be synthesized in the body and must be obtained from food. Soybeans contain all essential amino acids and have an amino acid score of 70, making them an excellent plant-based food. 3. High Nutritional Value Besides protein, soybeans are rich in various nutrients such as calcium, potassium, iron, and B vitamins. They truly deserve to be called a superfood from the field. For these reasons, soybeans have long been known as "meat of the field" and have been cherished as a valuable source of nutrition. Supplement The term "meat of the field" is said to have originated in Germany. Soybeans are used not only in their raw form but also in various processed foods such as tofu, natto, miso, and soy sauce.
