It is also relevant to mention that the Pasteurized Soy is not only an economic food, but it also has enough proteins to replace meats. In addition, the Soy is recommended to women during menopause, with changes in hormone levels.

This is for the Soy enables the metabolism balance, with sufficient calcium, magnesium and Omega 3 which contribute to enhance the bones mass and prevent the loss of calcification in the future.

An important Tip: the Pasteurized Soy should be hydrated enough time to soften and absorb the broth flavor. I also advise to drain Soy (not to squeeze it a lot) to preserve flavors.
