Etymology

The word 'soja' comes from the Latin name for the soybean, which is 'Glycine max'. The soybean has been cultivated for thousands of years, particularly in Asia, where it has been an important source of protein and oil. The name 'soja' itself is derived from the Japanese word 'shoyu', which originally referred to soy sauce. During the 19th century, as global trade expanded, soy became more widely known and utilized outside of Asia, especially in the United States where it was adopted for its various culinary and nutritional applications. Today, soja is a staple in many diets around the world and is recognized for its health benefits, including being a rich source of protein and essential amino acids.
