Hard to believe if you take these dried beans and soak them that they morph into a kidney-shaped bean.

These are known as soya beans and unlike their family members they are not edamame, as they are not “stem beans” because the beans were often boiled while still attached to the stem. Nonfermented soybeans make soy milk, and from tofu. Fermented foods include shoyu, fermented bean paste, natto, and tempeh, among others.
