Line 1: Line 1: −
The '''Soybean''', also known as the '''Soya bean''' is a plant native to Eastern [[Asia]]. It is often used in the production of [[vegetarian]]-safe foods, such as soy milk or infant [[formula]]. In the United States, most people do not eat soybeans and it is still used primarily as a feed for [[livestock]], especially [[pig]]s and [[poultry]]. It is more commonly eaten by people in Eastern Asia, where it is known as [[edamame]] and is the primary ingredient in the mushy, [[gelatin]]-like foodstuff called [[tofu]].
