soys
Edamame plant sources
Soys is the plural of soy, referring to multiple varieties, preparations, or instances of the legume or its products: The store stocks several different soys from Asian producers.
The plural is uncommon since soy typically functions as a mass noun—you'd more often say soy products or types of soy than soys.
