Soy Products List

Soy products are foods made primarily from soybeans through various processing methods, including tofu, soy milk, bean curd sticks, and fermented soy products. Originating in China, they are an important source of plant-based protein.

Benefits of Eating Soy Products

• Rich in high-quality plant protein: Soy products are high in protein, with an amino acid profile close to human needs. They help meet daily protein requirements, especially for people with low meat consumption.
• Source of key nutrients: Soy products are rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, and B vitamins.
• Good for cardiovascular health: Soy contains isoflavones and phytosterols, which support metabolic regulation and contribute positively to heart and vascular health.

1. Recommended Intake
According to the Chinese Dietary Guidelines, adults are advised to consume 25–35 g of soybeans per day. This is roughly equivalent to:

• Soy milk: about 300–500 ml
• Tofu: about 100–150 g
• Dou gan: about 50 g
• Bean curd sticks : about 10–15 g

2. Precautions
Not everyone is suitable for consuming large amounts of soy products. The following groups should limit intake or consult a doctor:

• Gout patients: Soybeans are medium- to high-purine foods; avoid during acute attacks.
• People with kidney impairment: High protein content in soy products increases kidney burden. Intake should be determined under medical or nutritional guidance.
• People with thyroid disorders: Goitrogens in soy may affect thyroid hormone synthesis. Hyperthyroid patients are advised to consume fermented soy products instead, and avoid consuming large amounts on an empty stomach.
• People allergic to soy: Soy products should be strictly avoided.

3. How to Choose

• Check the ingredient list: The simpler, the better. Avoid products with flavoring, preservatives, or excessive additives.
• Check shelf life and storage conditions: Refrigerated soy products have shorter shelf lives and should be consumed before expiration. For shelf-stable soy products, ensure packaging is intact and free from leaks or mold.
• Check appearance and smell: Fresh tofu should be uniform in texture with no off-odor. Soy milk should be milky-white with no sediment. Dou gan should have a smooth surface.

4. Storage Tips
Different soy products require different storage methods; improper storage may cause spoilage:

• Fresh tofu: Soak in clean water and refrigerate.
• Soy milk: Freshly made soy milk should be consumed the same day. Once opened, packaged soy milk must be refrigerated and consumed within 24 hours.
• Bean curd sticks: Store unopened at room temperature. Once opened, seal in a bag and refrigerate. Dried products like tofu stick and tofu skin should be kept in a cool, dry place to avoid moisture and mold.
