soya beans

Are soya beans the same as soy beans? I bought something called soya beans thinking it was the same as soy beans, but noticed when I was looking for recipes online the soy beans were bright green and the soya beans are brown and seemed to be a bit smaller. Can anyone clear this up for me? I am just starting to experiment with a lot of soy products and would really appreciate any information on the subject.
Thanks,
Wendy

i do believe they are one and the same. i've always regarded them as such...
must be the same beans in different phases.

Fresh soya beans are green, they grow brown as they dry for storage.
Similar to fresh peas / dried peas.

I am trying to find the green soya beans here in the UK.....fresh, dried or tinned or however they come..
I ate them recently in Hong Kong and they are delicious and soooo nutritious.I ate them by the bowl full.
All I can find are pale dried beige ones. Surely they can't be the same!!!
Do you know of a uk stockist please as none of my Health Stores here have even heard of green soya beans!
Please let me know
Thank you

I was told Thompson and Morgan sell the bean seeds but they have informed me they no longer stock them. Peter (or anyone) can you provide me with the name of a stockist in the UK?
I hope to hear from someone soon.
Thankyou

Hi!
Actually, I have been thinking the same- I just ate them in a Japanese restaurant in Canada and they were fantastic! So I'd like to find them somewhere in their pods. This weekend, I did see them, in the veggie section of SAINSBURY'S no less!!! They were in a little square packet- like fresh peas, and cost £1.99 for the packet- yes, they are fresh and green!
So yummy and so good for you!
Hope you find them!

I've just looked it up- in Sainsbury's and various places, they are often sold as 'Edamame'. I think it comes form the bean cultivators- a Japanese word. Hope this helps

Soya (UK) Soy (USA). A lot has been said BUT not enough can be said about this MAGIC bean. Apart from the wealth of nutritional benefits, it is also a joy to cook with as it is so versatile in its various forms with the added advantage of being relatively bland, so you can adapt any flavour of your choice. For those new to eating soya products, it is worth knowing that there is a great deal of information available on this subject. In recent times I have modified my diet to include daily soya, though I am not a vegetarian. As I am also into creative cooking I have now developed a wheat-free multipurpose mix for cooking various recipes as soya is not just about Shakes, Creams, Tofu or Meat alternatives etc.

Re soya beans

Soy or Soya beans have equal quantities of starch and protein.
35\% of each in the dry bean or bean flour.
12\% of each in the green beans
I would treat them as protein for a protein meal.
The healthiest option is the sprouted bean. 8.5\%protein and 6.5\% starch

Believe what you are all talking about is probably Edemame. these are young soya bean in their pod, served in japanese cuisine boiled or steamed and sprinkled with salt. You can buy them frozen in any good oriental supermarket

Did you ever get an answer to finding a stockist of the seeds in the UK as I too am trying to find a seed source.I did today buy frozen ones from Tesco (£1.99) so until I find a stockist at least I can carry on eating them ?.Where did you find the dried ones as I was wondering if you could soak and sow them
