Soybeans 1 article

Soybeans are mature seeds of Glycine max, a legume crop used both as a whole pulse and as a major source of protein and oil ingredients. Whole beans may be roasted or fermented, while processing produces tofu, tempeh, soy milk, soybean oil, and many soy-protein foods. Soy protein has a complete essential-amino-acid profile, and soy is also a major food-allergen category. Mature soybeans should be distinguished from green edamame, which are harvested earlier.
