Soybean contains trypsin inhibitor and more phytic acid, which affects the absorption and utilization of nutrients. During the germination of soybean, trypsin inhibitor was mostly destroyed, and protein contained in soybean was decomposed into soluble peptides and amino acids, which not only increased the freshness of bean sprouts, but also increased the utilization rate of protein in bean sprouts by at least 10% compared with soybean. Soybean sprouts also contain an interferon inducer, which can induce interferon and interfere with virus metabolism. People are more prone to viral colds and other miscellaneous diseases in spring. Therefore, eating soybean sprouts in spring can also enhance the body's ability to resist viral infection.
