What it is

Soybeans are a type of legume native to East Asia. They are cultivated for their edible beans, which are a common ingredient in many foods. Non-GMO soybeans are specifically grown without the use of genetic engineering.

Why it's used

Soybeans are a source of protein and oil. They are used to make soy milk, tofu, tempeh, and soy sauce. In processed foods, soy protein can act as a binder or emulsifier, and soy oil is used for cooking and in dressings.

Health notes

Soybeans are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of protein, fiber, and various micronutrients. Some research suggests that soy isoflavones may have health benefits, but evidence is mixed and more research is needed. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated soy products and their components.

Allergen info

Soy is one of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. People with a soy allergy should avoid products containing soybeans or soy derivatives.
