The Science Snippet of the programme last Thursday night was about soybeans (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soybean). Soybeans are the most-grown legume in the world, and an important animal feed. They are used in many foods & applications, and are a 'complete' protein source i.e. they contain all of the essential amino acids in enough quantities to sustain human life.
