What it is

Soybeans are legumes native to East Asia. They are a versatile crop grown worldwide for their edible seeds, which can be processed into a wide range of foods and ingredients.

Why it's used

Soybeans are used to make soy milk, tofu, tempeh, and edamame. Processed soy ingredients like soy protein isolate and soy lecithin are common in packaged foods, acting as emulsifiers, stabilizers, and sources of protein.

Health notes

Soybeans are a source of protein, fiber, and various micronutrients. The FDA considers them a component of a healthy dietary pattern. Regulatory bodies like the WHO/IARC have evaluated soy and soy products, with findings generally indicating no significant health concerns at typical consumption levels. Some research has explored the effects of soy isoflavones on hormone-sensitive conditions, but evidence is mixed and more research is needed.

Allergen info

Soy is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is also a common source of gluten-free ingredients, as soybeans themselves do not contain gluten.
