about low-linolenic soybeans

Low-linolenic soybeans are an answer to reducing trans fats in people's diets and promoting healthly eating habits.

Low-linolenic soybeans have been developed to contain half of the linolenic acid level of other soybeans, which reduces the need to hydrogenate the oil. A low-linolenic soybean contains less than 3% of linolenic acid compared to 7% on most other soybean varieties, making it healthier for the consumer.
