Soybeans are used in a variety of ways in Asia.:

They are eaten as grean beans and as bean sprouts;
 Mature seeds are treated in a variety of ways including cooking whole seeds, milling or liquefying them;
 They can be made into milk, often used by people allergic to dairy products;
 
 Tofu or soybean curd, has a cheese-like consistancy and a rather bland taste and can be eaten on its own or used in combination with other foods; and
 Indonesian tempeh, miso and the well known soy sauce are soybean products produced through ferementation using fungal and/or bacterial cultures.
 
 

 In the west, soybean oil is used for producing various products including margarine, salad oil and soap. The residual cake from pressing out the oil is a valuable high protein feed for livestock. It is not often realised how much soybean is used directly in everyday food products and indirectly through being fed to livestock.
