If you want to make money? I suggest getting into the soybean business. This little bean is truly the miracle bean. What can you do with soybeans? Well, you can eat it. It tastes good and is a healthy treat high in protein, amino acids, calcium, iron, omega 3 fatty-acids, and fiber.

 

Soy food products are

• soy dairy: milk, yogurt, cheese
• soy burgers
• soy nuts
• Edamame
• Miso
• Tempeh
• Tofu

Soybeans are a nutritional and health benefit for disease prevention including:

• Breast cancer
• Prostate cancer
• Heart disease: cholesterol and other risk factors
• Osteoporosis
• Menopause

Soybeans are also used in many commercial products including:

• Adhesives
• Carpet Backing
• Composites
  • floors
  • panneling
  • tabletops
  • etc.
• Insulation
• Candles
• Crayons
• SoySilk (http://www.soysilk.com/)
• Cushions for Furniture
• Hand Soap
• Sunblock
• The list goes on and on

Soybeans are used for industrial purposes like:

• Paints and Coatings
• Lubricants
• Hydraulic Fluid
• Pesticides/Herbicides
• Plastic
• Solvent

Of course maybe the best use for Soybeans—BioDiesel. You can run any diesel engine with little or no modifications, reduce emissions, and reduce our need for foreign oil.
Maybe the better question is what can’t soybeans do?
