Soybeans contain ash because they contain minerals like calcium, iron, and zinc. It’s the mineral composition of the plant.

‘Ash’ is the mineral content when water, carbs, protein, fat, are pyrolyzed off.
Per 100g of dried soybeans:
* 1.8 g potassium
* 704 mg phosphorus
* 280 mg magnesium
* 277 mg calcium
* 16 mg iron
* 4.9 mg zinc
* 2.5 mg manganese
