Soybean sprouts are the sprouted seeds of an annual herbaceous plant of the Soybean genus, legume family. One of the oldest cultures, it was “domesticated” by man back in the third millennium BC. To this day it remains a popular crop due to its high yield, nutritional value, low cost and a huge range of beneficial properties. Soybean plantations today exist in Asia, Europe, America, Australia, and on the islands of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Soy is the record holder for protein content among plant products, which allows it to be used for preparing a wide variety of dishes. The use of soybeans in cooking is truly limitless - they can simply be boiled as a side dish, or you can make milk based on them, you can simply add them to soup, or you can turn them into soy sausage, which will be very difficult to distinguish from meat sausage... The list goes on and on. However, the best thing that can be done with soybeans is to germinate it and eat it after a short treatment in boiling water; it is in this option that the culture will bring maximum benefit to the body.

Magnesium also nourishes brain cells, stimulating brain activity and strengthening memory.
  3. Cleansing the intestines and accelerating metabolism. The fiber contained in sprouts is necessary for our body to cleanse the intestines in a timely manner and prevent digestive disorders. In addition, it accelerates metabolism and is a good prevention of constipation. Due to its balanced composition, the product satisfies well and for a long time, reduces the craving for overeating and frequent snacking, which is especially important for those who are trying to lose weight.

Contraindications and harm of soybean sprouts


However, despite all the beneficial properties, this is a product whose consumption quantity must be carefully controlled. There is a very fine line between the benefits and harm of soybean sprouts; many of their positive qualities, when consumed in excess, change to negative ones. Suffice it to say that if with moderate consumption of sprouts the likelihood of developing cancer decreases, then with excessive consumption, on the contrary, it increases.

However, here we need to look for the blame not so much in soybean sprouts, but in the fact that today, in order to reduce the cost of products, careless producers, as they say, shove soybeans everywhere, and often we are talking about low-quality and/or genetically modified soybeans. In addition, there are enough soy products on the shelves for vegetarians - milk, cheese, etc. Thus, if you start eating sprouts, but do not stop limiting yourself in other products containing soy, you will most likely exceed the permissible limit and are unlikely to get a healing effect.

Features of soybean sprouts consumption:

Allowed in small quantitiesProhibited
Children under 12 years oldFor migraines
For menFor hormonal diseases
PregnantIn case of stomach ulcer
NursingFor diseases of the pancreas
Predisposed to diarrheaFor urolithiasis

You should eat soy sprouts no more than 4 times a week if you do not follow a vegetarian diet, and once a day if you are a vegan. In the latter case, you need to take into account that if in the morning you drank a cocktail with soy milk or ate a sandwich with tofu soy cheese, it is better not to eat the sprouts.

  • Children under 12 years old, since soy affects hormonal levels, and the phytoestrogen it contains can disrupt the formation of natural hormonal balance;
  • For men, since excessive consumption of sprouts can cause a decrease in libido and negatively affect reproductive abilities;
  • Predisposed to diarrhea, an excessive amount of fiber in this case can cause loose stools;
  • Pregnant and lactating- despite the fact that the product is able to supply the fetus with almost all the necessary vitamins and minerals, the norms for its use should be discussed with a gynecologist.
  • Migraine sufferers- if you are predisposed to severe headaches, it is better to avoid soy in the diet, since a large amount of isoflavones can increase the manifestations of the disease;
  • People with hormonal diseases- let us remind you that soy affects hormonal levels, and therefore in case of thyroid diseases and other hormonal imbalances, it is better to avoid the product;
  • Patients with other diseases- stomach ulcers, urolithiasis and pancreatic diseases.
It is also worth saying that soy should be introduced into the diet of allergy sufferers with caution.

How to germinate soybeans?


We would not recommend buying ready-made soybean sprouts - this product requires proper storage and has a short shelf life, and when purchasing a store-bought product, you can never be sure that important conditions are met.

However, germinating soybeans at home is not at all difficult:

  1. Sort and rinse the beans.
  2. Take a wide-bottomed plastic container and place the soybeans in a single row so the seeds will germinate evenly.
  3. Fill the beans with water at room temperature and close the container loosely - the seeds should breathe.
  4. After 12 hours, drain the water, rinse the soybeans, dry them slightly, place them on damp gauze folded in several layers and leave for another 12 hours. The room temperature should be about 22 degrees, and direct sunlight should not fall on the seeds - if necessary, they can be covered on top with a second, slightly moistened gauze.
  5. After 12 hours, the first shoots should appear; if you want to grow them further, the beans need to be washed and spread out again. When you are satisfied with the size of the sprouts (you should not grow them longer than 5 cm), wash them again, dry them and put them in the refrigerator.
Sprouts should be stored in the refrigerator, preferably in a tightly closed container.

Note! You can buy soy only in specialized health food stores, where it undergoes careful control. Never use beans that are sold for sowing for sprouting, as they are most likely treated with growth stimulants and antibiotics.

In the ancient treatise of the second Chinese emperor Shen-Nun, you can already find recipes for preparing a variety of products from soybeans - milk, cottage cheese, butter, flour, etc. It is curious that the main principles of working with soybeans, set out in the work, are still used today.

Soybean is the only plant that scientists are controversial about. One camp claims that the culture is extremely beneficial, the second expresses many concerns about the product, primarily due to its ability to influence hormonal levels.


In Russia, for a very long time they could not come up with a name for soybeans; names such as oil peas, oil beans, Haberlandt beans, etc. were proposed, but in the end they settled on the English translation from Japanese - soybeans.

This is one of the few crops that is used completely for one purpose or another. That is, soybean is an absolutely waste-free plant.

Surely, in grocery stores you have often seen a salad with asparagus, where the latter means long beige pieces. So, there is no asparagus in this salad, it’s just the foam that forms when soy milk is boiled.

The gauze should not be allowed to dry out, so it is necessary to check its condition every hour (especially in hot weather). When the gauze dries, it must be moistened. To avoid the appearance of mucus on the beans, it is recommended to rinse the gauze under running water 2 times a day.

    4. On about the 3rd day, useful and beautiful sprouts will emerge from the beans. To be able to eat them, you should wait until the sprouts reach a length of 4-5 cm.

    When the sprouts grow to the desired length, it’s time to prepare delicious and healthy dishes from sprouted soybeans! It is best to add them to salads, but you can stew them with tomatoes and other vegetables.
