oybeans are a highly versatile crop grown primarily in North and South America and East Asia. They are a rich source of protein and are used extensively in food production, both for human consumption and animal feed. Products like tofu, tempeh, soy milk, and edamame are derived from soybeans, and they are also processed into soy protein and oil. Beyond their nutritional value, soybeans are a key player in crop rotation systems due to their nitrogen-fixing ability, which enhances soil health.
