soy
Versatile Asian legume
Soy refers to the soybean plant and the many products derived from it.
Soybeans are legumes native to East Asia that have become one of the world's most important crops, used for oil, animal feed, and human food products like tofu, tempeh, and soy milk.
Soy sauce, a fermented condiment, is perhaps the most widely recognized soy product globally.
In internet slang, soy or soy boy is used disparagingly to mock men perceived as weak, effeminate, or overly liberal.
