Color: Yellow, green, brown, or black
Soybeans are versatile legumes, typically oval to spherical in shape, ranging from 5 mm to 11 mm in diameter. Their color varies—commonly yellow, but also green, brown, or black. With a smooth to slightly rough texture and firm yet yielding hardness, soybeans are known for their high protein (35–40%) and oil content (18–20%).
Rich in nutrients and widely cultivated, soybeans are used in food products, animal feed, and biodiesel production. They maintain a germination rate of 80–95% under optimal conditions and a shelf life of up to two years with proper storage. Their density, moisture content, and durable hull make them ideal for large-scale agricultural and industrial applications.
