The soy used in BJORG products is a plant (Glycine maxima) called “Yellow Soy”. Soy protein can be a good alternative to animal proteins, especially in a vegetarian diet, because it contains all the essential amino acids in sufficient quantities.

It should not be confused with the mung bean (Phaseolus mungo) whose sprouts are commonly called “sprouts” or “germs” of soybeans. These do not have the nutritional properties of soybeans.
