Soybeans Profile

The soybean was introduced to Europe in the 1700s. Since then, it has made a mark for itself worldwide by providing oil and protein sources. America produces 55% of the world's soybeans while exporting 37% of the same. Soybean has become a staple food for many countries, and most of it produced is used to extract the oil used for culinary purposes. After the extraction of the oil, the leftovers from the soybean meal are used for agricultural feed for livestock.
