About White soybean

White soybean describes pale- or white-seeded soybeans, rather than a separate species of bean. The dry seeds are typically rounded or oval and have a mild, beany flavor; after soaking and cooking they become tender, with a soft, creamy interior.

They can be cooked as beans or processed into foods such as soy milk and tofu, though cultivar and intended use vary. The term does not by itself specify whether the beans are dried, cooked, or processed, and those forms should not be treated as nutritionally interchangeable.
