This may be a dumb question, but does anyone know if black soybeans are
a problem for people with soy allergies? I just tried some and they
worked great in chili, but my fiance has some pretty strong reactions to
things like soy milk and soy pasta. These didn't look all that much
like soybeans to me, so I'm wondering if maybe they aren't really
soybeans, the way cowpeas aren't really peas; that kind of thing. It'd
be great if we could both eat these, since they're practically all
fiber.

They're actually not practically all fiber; they're very high in protein.

If someone has an allergy, it's to proteins.

I don't know if they're true soybeans or not.

True, I should have said the carbs in them are nearly all fiber; 7 out
of 8, I believe.

Hmm, doesn't sound too promising then.

Thanks,

Yes they are real soybeans I would not feed them to someone who has an
allergy to soy.

Soy is not real food.
