About Oil, soybean lecithin
The soybean (Glycine max) is a remarkably versatile legume and one of the world's most important crops, valued as one of the few plant foods that provide complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids. Native to East Asia, these small beans are the foundation of countless foods: tofu, tempeh, natto, edamame, miso, soy sauce, and soy milk all begin here. Soybeans are rich in protein, fiber, and healthy fats along with minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium, plus isoflavones, plant compounds studied for a range of possible health benefits.
Young green soybeans, served in the pod as edamame, make a popular steamed-and-salted snack, while mature beans are dried, fermented, or ground. The beans are also pressed for soybean oil, one of the most widely used cooking oils in the world, and processed into soy protein and countless other products, making soy a staple of plant-based and vegetarian eating as well as a major animal feed. Cook dried soybeans thoroughly until fully tender, since raw beans are indigestible, and store dried beans in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
