Soybean
(Glycine Soja)
Glycine from the Greek glykys meaning sweet; Soja meaning course.
An easy to grow plant, soybean has been cultivated for 3000 years in eastern Asia and introduced to the United States in the 1700's.
Today the U.S. is the largest producer of soybeans, more than one billion bushels per year, with the major cultivation located in the midwest and south.
