A daily cup of nutrient-rich soymilk has proven to be very beneficial to
a child’s health and growth.

they are more energetic, their skin condition improves and they grow more.

Soybeans in Korea

Soybeans have been an essential part of the Korean diet for more than 1,000 years,
providing a major source of protein.

Soy and Nutrition

Soybeans are considered a “complete” nutritional source,
containing all the essential amino acids the body needs.

Soybeans contain good carbohydrates and fat, and are also rich in vitamins and minerals,
including calcium, folic acid and iron. They taste great, too!

First Steps and Soybeans

First Steps ships soybeans to North Korea to supplement domestic shortfalls
and to keep our VitaCow and VitaGoat machines producing at full capacity.
