Soybean sprouts: Although soybean has a high content of protein, its nutritional value is limited due to the existence of trypsin inhibitor, so people advocate eating soy products. During soybean germination, most of these substances are degraded and destroyed. The utilization rate of soybean sprouts in protein is about 10% higher than that of soybeans. In addition, raffinose can't be absorbed by human body, and the substances that are easy to cause abdominal distension drop sharply or even disappear completely during germination, thus avoiding the occurrence of abdominal distension after eating soybeans. In the process of soybean germination, more mineral elements such as calcium, phosphorus, iron and zinc are released due to the action of enzymes, which improves the utilization rate of minerals in soybean. Asparagine increases sharply after soybean germination, so people can reduce the accumulation of lactic acid and eliminate fatigue by eating bean sprouts.
