We use full-fat soy flour that has been toasted for optimal taste and digestibility.
Quality and processing: Our soy flour is carefully selected and toasted, which improves both the flavour profile and nutrient availability. The toasting process reduces any beany taste often associated with soy products and helps deactivate naturally occurring antinutrients, making the protein and other nutrients more bioavailable to your body.
Addressing common concerns: We understand some people have questions about soy consumption. The soy flour in Queal is non-GMO and sourced from reputable suppliers. Regarding phytoestrogens (isoflavones), extensive research shows that moderate soy consumption as part of a balanced diet is safe for most people. The amounts in Queal, when consumed as directed, fall well within what's considered normal dietary intake. Studies have shown that soy protein can support heart health and provide high-quality plant-based protein with all essential amino acids.
Nutritional benefits: Full-fat soy flour contributes to - but isn't the primary source of - Queal's protein content while also providing healthy unsaturated fats, fibre, and important micronutrients like folate, potassium, and iron. It complements our other protein sources (fava beans, brown rice, peas, and oats) to create a complete amino acid profile.
