Soy Beans belong to the legume family. Yellow Soy Beans have been an important protein source in the Orient for over five thousand years. Soy Beans have only been introduced to the Western world since the 20th century.

Soy Beans grow on a variety of soils and a wide range of climates, ranging form tropical Brazil to the snowy island Hokkaido in the north of Japan. As Soy Beans mature in the pod, they ripen into hard, dry beans. Although most Soy Beans are yellow,there are also rare varieties which are black, brown or green coloured.

Soy Beans are most often transformed in other foods such as tempeh, tofu, miso, shoyu, soy milk or other food ingredients. However, cooked Soy Beans can also be used as an ingredient in soups, sauces and stews.
