Soybeans (Glycine max) are a versatile and highly nutritious legume native to East Asia. They are a significant source of protein and are often considered a complete protein because they contain all nine essential amino acids. Rich in healthy fats, particularly polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, soybeans also provide essential nutrients such as fiber, vitamins (including vitamin K, folate, and several B vitamins), and minerals (including iron, calcium, and magnesium). Due to their high protein content, soybeans are commonly used in various food products, including tofu, tempeh, soy milk, and edamame. Additionally, they play a crucial role in vegetarian and vegan diets as a plant-based protein alternative. Beyond their culinary uses, soybeans are also important in agriculture, as they help improve soil health through nitrogen fixation. The oil extracted from soybeans is widely used in cooking and food processing, making them an integral part of both diets and economies worldwide.
