The protein content for this product is extremely high by about a factor of 2. Is it is really black beans? Is it black soy beans?

It is made from black beans, no soy. Beans have a very high protein count and fiber. They cook up pretty good, just like spaghetti.

Thevpackage says organic black beans and water as the ingredients. However another area of the package does say it is made in a plant that process soy product. I think it is really black beans.

The serving size is HUGE (no way I can eat the whole serving amount or even half of it honestly). So yes, it's black beans, not soy.

That is a really great question. I cannot eat soybeans because of sensitivity to soy and these noodles give me no problem. I did not even know there was a "black soy bean" These noodles are great when topped with vegetables and help me get the protein I need because I do not like meat. I may write the company though because now I am curious.

I am sorry but I don't know the answer. I hope it is not soy. I would also like to know the answer to your question.

The company's FAQ states that it is a black bean product and not soy http://www.explore-asian.com/faq/

Nothing but regular black beans. But it's true that the protein claim on this is VERY dubious. 23g of protein per 50g of dry pasta (as stated on the nutritional panel of the 2lb box) is indeed twice the amount of protein in the equivalent dry weight of black beans or black bean flour.

I'd say it's black soy beans. The carb count is too low to be regular beans and I think the texture and taste is closer to soy. It's tasty! :)

The package lists as ingredients only (organic) black beans and water. Considering the country of origin , one can never be totally sure about that, I guess ... They do taste like protein, though, not like starch, as ordinary spaghetti do.

It's possible that it's an error, OR it's also possible that they're warning you that the protein that's sourced from peas is less-bioavailable than that from whey, which is the "gold standard" of protein powder bioavailability. (Funny, but I always thought that egg whites were the highest, then whey.)

I recently purchased Nature's Plus Spiru-tein Gold, Banana Berry Blast. I haven't even opened it yet because it is based on Chia Rice and Peas and I am prone to IBS (I'm wary of any product that is lentil based). I usually get the regular Spiru-tein high protein sans the peas, and I loved it. Anyway, according to the label on this can, even though Carbs is at 19g. under sugar it is 0. Mixed with milk it goes up to 11g of sugar. I cannot vouch for its validity, that is just what the label states. But, all in all Spiru-Tein is a wonderful product and a life saver on a busy day. I am mostly concerned with the vitamin and protein rating. Mostly, the protein rating! I recently purchased Nature's Plus Spiru-tein Gold, Banana Berry Blast.

It is only 2g protein per serving, but this veggie juice powder is not a "protein powder". This product is packed with probiotics, enzymes, antioxidants. I add 1 scoop of this great powdered greens to my protein smoothie.

The beans are not black, they are only dark brown. I don't know if the beans are large. I grind fine to very fine and make esspresso. Delicious.

The protein here is half "enzyme active" sprouted brown rice and half hemp seed based. Google "best protein powder - Food Babe"

Soy Lecithin which is the ingredient on the label is a by product derived from soy beans.I hope this answers the question.

Hey there! i must say the soy protein is sooo much better i accidentally bought the pea one now i have like five that i need to drink. its tolerable especially if u are putting it in fruit, but next time I'm definitely getting soy

No there is no soy in this product I stay far away from soy! It's a great tasting Protein powder would definitely recommend it.

I'm sorry I don't remember..didn't like the pea protein and went back to Garden of Life which I believe has 17 grams of protein.

It's not.. it's more plant based type it comes from grains such as beans and rice. It's not a good protein for body building such as isolate but it's good for people who are just taking protein just to maintain a healthy body weight.

I read the label and it really does not say how much soy, like what you want percentages. It just says contains soy and milk.

i just bought the 1.1lb container and the ingredients listed are: undenatured whey protein isolate, non-GMO lecithin, natural vanilla flavor. Then in bold letters it states "contains milk, soybeans" so sadly, this is not the supplement for you if you are trying to avoid soy.
