Did you know...
Soya beans belong to the legume family and are native to East Asia. The pods, stems and leaves are covered with fine brown or grey hairs. This year at White Meadows Farms we planted 30 acres of soya beans in May and will harvest the beans when the leaves have fallen off and the beans are hard. Lady beetles in our fields help ensure that the soya bean aphid population does not overwhelm the plants and destroy the crop. Once harvested (in September) the beans are sent to be crushed taking all the oil out. The soya meal that is left is then fed to our livestock.
A given area of land planted with soya beans can produce much more protein than land planted with other crops, or if the land were used to raise cattle.
Soya beans are very rich in nutritive components. Besides the very high protein content, soya beans contain a lot of fibre and are rich in calcium and magnesium . The soy protein has a high biological value and contains all the essential amino acids.
Besides being able to consume soya beans this popular legume is also used in industrial products including oils, soap, cosmetics, plastics, inks, crayons, clothes and solvents. Soya beans have also been used since 2001 as fermenting stock in the manufacturing of a brand of vodka!
