Soybean

Ballıpınar Agriculture – Soybean Production and Contributions

The soybean is an annual legume crop that grows between 1–1.5 meters in height. Native to East Asia, soy has spread across the globe and has become one of the most valuable plant-based protein sources. Thanks to its exceptionally high protein content, soy stands out from other vegetables and plays a crucial role in both human nutrition and livestock farming.

At Ballıpınar Agriculture, we cultivate soybeans using sustainable farming methods to provide high-quality products for both the food and industrial sectors.

Nutritional Value of Soybeans

Due to their rich nutritional composition, soybeans are indispensable for healthy diets and industrial applications:

  • High protein (one of the richest sources of plant-based protein)

  • Omega-3 fatty acids

  • Polyunsaturated fatty acids

  • Antioxidants and phytochemicals

  • Vitamins B1, B2, E, and K

  • Minerals → Phosphorus, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, potassium, and sodium

  • High fiber content

These properties make soybeans a versatile product that supports both human health and animal nutrition.

Applications of Soybeans
