Cultivated in East Asia for thousands of years, soybeans are an important part of traditional diets in China, Japan, and Korea. They can either be eaten fresh from the pod or dried. Fresh soybean is green and known as edamame. Dried soybeans are often light tan or pale yellow in colour but can also be found in black, brown, and blue.
Soybean was introduced to the western world in the 20th century, and it now grows in countries like Brazil, Argentina, the United States, Paraguay, Canada, and India. Today, the United States is the largest producer of soybeans.
Soybeans have become popular in recent years because of its rich protein content, which make them an ideal source of protein for vegetarians and vegans.
Dried soybeans contain a wealth of nutrients and are a good source of dietary fiber and protein. They can be consumed after being soaked overnight and then boiled in a pressure cooker or a large pot.
