So, what is soya beans?

Soya beans, also known as soybeans, are a versatile legume that originated in Asia over 5,000 years ago. These oval-shaped beans have a hard, outer shell that is typically removed before consumption. Packed with essential nutrients like protein, fiber, and healthy fats, soya beans are a popular ingredient in a variety of cuisines worldwide. They can be eaten cooked or roasted as a snack, mashed into tofu or soy milk, or used as a meat substitute in vegetarian and vegan dishes. Soya beans are also a sustainable crop that can improve soil health and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, making them a smart choice for environmentally conscious consumers.
