Soy also called soybeans, is a food with multiple uses. Its origin dates back to the Chinese Chou dynasty. Its appearance is that of a bean when cooked. But unlike the common bean it is processed in different ways due to its texture or consistency, as it is harder than other beans. That is why it must first be soaked in water to soften it and make it easier to cook.

Soy is an alternative for people who want to stay healthy, this interest has contributed to increase its production on a large scale and to develop more and more its processing with its consequent benefits for the human being.
