Soybeans are a complete protein food rich. A 3.5-ounce serving  of soya chunks contains over 54 grams of protein. This is more than the same serving size of meat and eggs.

 

I keep trying some interesting recipes to ensure a  healthy diet for the complete family!

 

Here’s the recipe of Soya Masala Rice which is loved by my family a lot:
