    soja bean or soya bean, annual legume of the


    pea family (Fabaceae) and its edible seed. The soybean is economically the most
    important bean in the world, providing vegetable protein for millions of people and

    domesticated in central China as early as 7000 BCE. An ancient crop, the soybean has
    been used in China, Japan, and Korea for thousands of years as a food and a
    component of medicines. Soybeans were introduced into the United States in 1804
    and became particularly important in the South and Midwest in the mid-20th
    century. Brazil and Argentina are also major producers.
