soybeans
Miso's main ingredient
Soybeans are the seeds of an Asian legume, among the world's most important crops.
They're processed into oil, tofu, soy sauce, and countless food products, or fed to livestock.
The beans can be eaten whole when young and green (edamame) or dried and mature.
Soy protein appears in everything from veggie burgers to infant formula.
