It can further lower the risk of heart issues and child obesity in infants.

Because of its high-fibre content, babies consuming soy milk may have a lesser incidence of bowel troubles and diarrhoea.

how to prepare soybean powder for your family.

• Soaking- Soak raw soybeans in clean water for 3-4 days. Replace the water every 48hours. This process is known as fermentation. Fermentation helps introduce probiotics into the legume, as well as increases the legume’s nutritional value. It also makes the soy easier to digest.
• Drying- Sieve the soybeans then airdry till all moisture is gone.
• Frying or Roasting-Fry without oil or Roast the soyabeans on medium heat till cooked through. * The soyabeans would release their own oil to prevent the legume from burning.
• Milling-Once completely cooled, mill the soyabeans into powder and stored in an airtight container.

To make it more nutritious we can add unripe plantain and groundnut.

The below is my own soybean,I use it for my tea,my pap and my stew rice.
