Soy

(Glycine max L.)

Soy is an excellent substitute for milk as well as being used for the preparation of salads, drinks and desserts. It is an annual herbaceous plant, summer, erect or bushy; in the alternation it has the role of a plant that improves soil fertility: it is in fact a typical renewal plant with a spring-summer cycle. Soy is a legume that is widely used for human and farm animal nutrition, making it one of the most cultivated food products in the world.

Purposes
An important part of the world production of soy is destined to the feeding of farmed animals in the form of flours or cake; a part is also used as a fertilizer and for industrial uses (cosmetics, etc.)
