Soybean in the U.S. is divided into 10 maturity groups that correspond to the 10 maturity zones or bands that cover all of the U.S. territory.
Each group will grow more or less quickly according to the length of the day light and the date of plantation. The main difference is mostly in the duration between the time of plantation and pollination. The time between pollination and harvest is usually about the same.
It takes between 3 and 5 months in total between plantation and harvest.
Yes, after a while, it does. It can turn sour and grow mold.
How many pounds of soy beans goes into one pound of tofu?
There is approximately 37grams of protein in a pound of tofu.
Because it's edible, it tastes good when you cook it certain ways, it's full of protein AND it's super healthy. It's also a really good alternative to meat for vegetarians and vegans, although those who are not either of these eat it, too.
What type of soil do soybeans grow in?
Beans like a soil that is close to neutral and a loam soil suits them well. Clay soils would benefit from some lightening of their structure if growing beans.
Can you water plants with soy milk?
I did a science project on whether plants grow with another liquid and soy milk made the plant grow bigger than the other plants.
What are the comparisons between soy milk and cow's milk?
It isn't, necessarily. Soy milk is derived from soy beans (a plant), so soy milk is free of lactose, a protein which is found in cow milk, and also contains much lower levels of saturated fats and cholesterol. On its own, soy milk does not contain much calcium, so this is generally added by manufacturers. Soy milk contains hormones that mimic the action of oestrogen in the human body which may have some health complications for some.
Assume that 'melt' here is in the same sense that cheese melt, no, Tofu does not melt. This is because cheese contain casein which cause the soft, stringly sticky character of melted cheese and Tofu does not.
This may also be because of the heat damage caused in the tofu making process. Cheese made from cooked milk ( like Ricotta cheese) are crumbly and will not melt just like Tofu which is made from cooked soy.
The closest thing you can get to a 'melted' tofu is finely mashed tofu with nutrition yeast.
What isThe difference between soy and soybean?
No real difference. Soy is American english, soya is British english.
Depends on what country you are in.
There isn't a difference. They are the same thing.
Some say true that "soya" is the British equivalent of "soy". Others maintain that "soy" was the only way it was said in Britain in the 1980s and that most Brits probably still say soy, not soya, but, this is merely a matter of opinion. Most people recognise and/or use both forms indiscrimately.
The word got into English in the 1670s, from the Dutch soya, which in turn came from the Japanese soyu or shoyu. This came from the Chinese shi-yu which meant oil from soy.

Haha, yes. Definately. Soymilk is very good for health, and it will benefit your dog.
Just make sure to test for food allergies. Give a bit and look for signs of a reaction.
What Asian country produces the most soybeans?
United States 90.6 Brazil 68.5 Argentina 52.6 People's Republic of China 15.0 India 9.8 Paraguay 7.4 Canada 4.3
They can eat soybeans but will not usually eat them on purpose. Dogs are carnivores and nothing can change that fact.
Soybeans can be added into the dog's meat diet. They contain edamame which are high in vitamins and minerals. Some vets add edamame into the dog's food to give them a nutritional boost. They shouldn't be added with every meal though, just occasionally, because soybeans are gassy. Too much gas in a dog leads to diarrhoea.
Pinto beans are a bush type bean, they grow between 3 and 5 feet in optimum growing conditions wich makes them very popular in commercial growing. Its small size makes it easy to harvest unlike climbing beans wich grow very tall , with pinto beans you might still want to suport the plant stem with a tomatoe cage or what ever works for you.
How long can soybeans be stored?
If dry and kept in a water proof container, up to a year.
*** According to the USAID website the beans will be good for a longer period if adequate storage ( as mentioned dry/waterproof) The only difference is a longer cooking time which would need to be adjusted as cooked
How many bushells to one ton of soy bean?
A US ton is a unit of weight, and is much heavier than a bushel of anything.
A bushel is a volume measurement approximately equal to 1.2445 cubic feet or 0.035 m3.
However, given a standard moisture content, a US bushel of soybeans is assigned a weight of 60 pounds
(27.2 kg).
That would make 33 1/3 bushels of soybeans in a US ton. (2000 lb.)
Where does tofu originate from?
Tofu is a food of Chinese origin, made by coagulating soy milk (which is derived from soy beans), and then pressing the resulting curds into blocks. It's an excellent source of protein, which is why many vegetarians eat tofu instead of meat.
Grocery stores have it, refrigerated. Some keep it in the produce section, others place it in the health food section.
There are two main varieties of tofu common in the U.S. One is the refrigerated version that is cut into blocks after it coagulates and is then packaged in water. The other type is coagulated in aseptic packages and doesn't need refrigeration until after it is opened. MoriNu is a common brand name for the latter type. Each type comes in varying degrees of firmness.
Is is good to eat tofu after the expiration date?
no it definitely isn't! I would only allow a day or two.
What is the yield per hectare of soya beans?
The top 20 countries have a yield of over 37 bushels (of 60 pounds each) per acre, or 2.3 tonnes per hectare.
The U.S. average yield for 2010 was 46.6 bushels/acre or 2.9 tonnes/hectare.
The best country, Turkey, produced an average of 58.7 bushels/acre or 3.7 tonnes/hectare.
The record belongs to a farmer in Missouri who produced an average of 100 bushels/acre over a 300 acres plantation in 2010, and reached 160 bushels/acre on a specially irrigated field.
Roughly 50, but it depends on the variety and environmental factors
