Compared with our traditional soybean milk and porridge in China, which one has higher nutritional value?

In terms of nutritional value, these three food ingredients are as follows. Whole milk contains protein, fat, lactose, calcium, potassium and 12 vitamins (8 B vitamins and ADEK vitamins). It has no dietary fiber or soy isoflavones. Of course, skim milk has little fat. It contains lactose, but no starch. Soybean milk supplies protein, a small amount of fat, oligosaccharides, non-starch polysaccharides, potassium, magnesium, soybean isoflavones and 9 vitamins (7 vitamins B and E and K). It contains almost no starch. The nutritional value of porridge depends on what porridge is cooked. If it is white rice porridge, except starch, other ingredients are quite few, and the supply of vitamins and minerals is also very small. If it is miscellaneous grain bean porridge, such as oatmeal porridge, red bean porridge, millet porridge and so on. Then the amount of vitamins and minerals is two or three times or even more than that of rice porridge, and the content of protein is also greatly increased.

It can be seen that the two cannot completely replace each other. But there is a little difference between milk and soybean milk. At least they are the source of protein, fat and multivitamins. Using milk or soybean milk with bread, steamed bread and cake is far more comprehensive than using porridge with steamed bread, cake and fried dough sticks. If you eat steamed bread rich in starch with a bowl of rice porridge, it's a bit repetitive-the combination of starch and starch is not enough for high-quality protein, vitamins and minerals. Soymilk and milk have their own merits, and there is no way to tell the difference clearly. For example, if you want to supplement calcium to make your child grow taller, milk is better. If middle-aged and elderly people want to prevent cardiovascular diseases and relieve menopausal symptoms, it is better to use soybean milk.

In fact, milk, soybean milk and porridge are all part of the diet and do not have to replace each other. Drink soybean milk with whole wheat steamed bread eggs in the morning and milk at night; Or drink milk oatmeal with eggs in the morning and soy milk at night, no problem. There is no harm in drinking milk and soybean milk together. Not only early milk, late soybean milk or late milk and early soybean milk can be used, but also mixed. Believe me, their mixture tastes very good, also known as "double protein" and "soybean milk". There are many such products abroad and people all over the world have been drinking them for many years. In short, there is no need to compare which of the three has higher nutritional value. The key is how to match it reasonably.
