Soybeans can be broadly
classified as "vegetable" (garden)
or field (oil) types. Vegetable types cook
more easily, have a mild nutty flavor, better
texture, are larger in size, higher in protein,
and lower in oil than field types. A complete
protein is one that contains significant amounts
of all the essential amino acids that must
be provided to the human body because of the
body's inability to synthesize them. For this
reason, soy is a good source of protein, amongst
many others, for many vegetarians
or for people who cannot afford meat. |

Neem is a tree in the mahogany family Meliaceae. Neem is a source of environment-friendly biopesticides. Among the isolated neem constituents, limonoids (such as Azadirachtin) are effective in insect growth-regulating activity. The unique feature of neem products is that they do not directly kill the pests, but alter the life-processing behavior in such a manner that the insect can no longer feed, breed or undergo metamorphosis. However, this does not mean that the plant extracts are harmful to all insects. Since, to be effective, the product has to be ingested, only the insects that feed on plant tissues succumb. Those that feed on nectar or other insects (such as butterflies, bees, and ladybugs) hardly accumulate significant concentrations of neem products. |
