What is a soynut?
Soynut is an accepted term in the health food industry for a roasted soybean. A soybean is in fact a legume (bean) and not a “nut” at all. The curious thing is that this misnomer began with peanut, which is also a legume, and would more appropriately be called a peabean. At any rate, when roasted, these legumes both taste “nutty”!
