The fermentation advantage
68%
less phytic acid
Heirloom black soybeans naturally contain phytates that bind minerals like iron and zinc. Our slow 48-hour fermentation unlocks them, making iron, zinc and plant protein easier to absorb, without bloating.
80%
less irrigation water
Heirloom black soybeans need far less water than commercial cattle protein.
