Soybean, which is also known as soya beans, is a species of legume that has become one of the most widely consumed foods in the world. They are extremely useful for human health and they are easy to cultivate as well. Their scientific name is Glycine max, and they are classified as an oilseed, rather than a pulse, like most legumes.

Soybean has become wildly important and popular in recent decades because of the rise in soy food’s popularity, including soy milk and textured vegetable protein. The high levels of protein make these soy products an ideal protein source for vegetarians and the variety of soy products has created a massive new market altogether.

One of the reasons soybeans are widely cultivated is because they contain more protein per acre of land than any other crop. They grow up to 2 meters in height and are a green, low–lying plant. Furthermore, soybeans are packed with other essential nutrients, making them extremely important for people on diets, those who need to improve their overall health, and vegetarians and vegans throughout the world.

Soybean is a high-quality protein. It is one of only two known plant foods (the other is amaranth seed) to contain all the essential amino acids, similar to those found in meat. Some soy products are sources of calcium and iron, such as Chinese tofu or tempeh (made with a calcium coagulant) and calcium-fortified soy drinks. The soybean is:

• High in Fibre
• High in Protein
• Low in Saturated Fat
• Cholesterol Free
• Lactose-Free
• A Good Source Of Omega-3 Fatty Acids
• A Source of Antioxidants
• High in Phytoestrogens

The health benefits of soybean include the following:

• Improve Metabolic Activity
• Healthy Weight Gain
• Anticancer Potential
• Boost Heart Health
• Relieve Menopausal Symptoms
• Boost Digestion
• Improve Bone Health
