Soy

The soybean is a gluten-free legume that has been used for thousands of years in China as a crop. It has a high content of protein and oil.

Much of the soybean crop is used for oil production, which is used primarily as food, as well as biodiesel. The remaining soybean meal is an important animal food in livestock production.
