Which is nutritious, soybean milk or bean curd dregs

Soybean milk and bean curd dregs have their own nutritional advantages. soybean milk is easier to absorb protein and minerals, while bean curd dregs are rich in dietary fiber and some vitamins. The difference in nutritional components between the two mainly comes from the processing method. soybean milk retains soluble substances after filtration, while tofu dregs concentrate insoluble components.

soybean milk is made from soybeans after soaking, grinding, boiling and filtering, which mainly retains water-soluble nutrients in soybeans. Every 100 grams of soybean milk contains about 3 grams of high-quality protein, close to the protein content of milk, and contains 8 kinds of essential amino acids for human body. Calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and other minerals in soybean milk exist in the form of ions, with high bioavailability. Soybean isoflavones are partially dissolved in soybean milk during processing, and have the function of regulating estrogen. The fat content of soybean milk is about 2%, in which unsaturated fatty acids account for more than 80%, which is suitable for cardiovascular health. Tofu residue is a solid residue filtered out during the process of making tofu from soybeans. It contains a large amount of insoluble dietary fiber, with a content of over 10 grams per 100 grams, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and improve constipation. The bean curd residue retains about 30% of the protein in soybeans, but it exists in the form of crude protein, and the digestibility and absorption rate is lower than that of soybean milk. Fat soluble vitamins, such as vitamin E, are high in tofu dregs, while water-soluble vitamin B group is lost to soybean milk. The calcium in bean curd dregs exists in a combined state, and the absorption rate is only about 50% of soybean milk, but the content of trace elements such as iron and zinc is slightly higher.

It is recommended to eat it according to the needs. People with weak digestive function can choose more soybean milk to supplement nutrition. People with constipation are suitable to use bean curd dregs to increase dietary fiber intake. Both can be used as high-quality vegetable protein sources. Tofu dregs can be made into cakes, meatballs and other low-fat foods. soybean milk is suitable as a drink or cooking material, avoiding long-term single consumption of one to obtain a more comprehensive nutrition combination.
