Nutrition per Serving
Sugars shown are total sugars (naturally occurring + added) per serving and are approximate. For fruits and dairy this is mostly natural sugar; for sweets and many cooked dishes it reflects added sugar or jaggery.
Tips to Manage Blood Sugar
Soak thoroughly and boil until soft to deactivate anti-nutrients; the very high protein-to-carb ratio makes soybeans excellent for blood-sugar control.
