SOYBEANS AND BEANS

Soy is a subtropical plant in the
pea family and is a very common
food source in Asian diets. The
seeds of this plant are “high in
protein” legumes known as
soybeans or edamame. Soybean
protein is a healthy diet
substitute for animal protein,
because it offers your body a
“complete” protein with less
saturated fat. Complete proteins
contain all the amino acids
essential for healthy nutrition.
Soybeans were a crucial crop in
eastern Asia long before written
records. They remain a major crop
