Soybeans are legumes related to peas, clover and alfalfa. Soybeans are dicots, which means they have two cotyledons. Each soybean plant produces 60 to 80 pods, each holding three pea-sized beans. Soybeans are hardy plants and well adapted to a variety of soils and soil conditions.

Soy contains a high concentration of essential amino acids and is the main source of protein in our global food supply. Soy production has more than doubled over the last two decades.

An extensive analysis of the research in this area concluded that there is a significant association between soy consumption and lower prostate cancer risk. So don't listen to the naysayers who say that soy is not a good food for you. The evidence well and truly indicates that soy foods are 'soy' good for us.
