The plant is known as the "large bean" in Chinese and Japanese (Chinese: 大豆; pinyin: dàdòu; Japanese romaji: daizu) or "yellow bean" (Chinese: 黄豆; pinyin: huángdòu). Both the immature soybean and its dish are called edamame in Japan,[7][8] but in English, edamame refers only to a specific dish.[citation needed] The genus name, Glycine, is the same as a simple amino acid.
Since the early twentieth century soybeans have been called the 'golden bean' or 'miracle bean' in America.[9] The English words "soy" and "soya" are ultimately derived from the Japanese pronunciation of shōyu (醤油?), the Sino-Japanese word for soy sauce, through the German adaptation of the same word, soja.[10]
Soy varies in growth and habit. The height of the plant varies from less than 0.2 to 2.0 m (0.66 to 6.56 ft).
The pods, stems, and leaves are covered with fine brown or gray hairs. The leaves are trifoliolate, having three to four leaflets per leaf, and the leaflets are 6–15 cm (2.4–5.9 in) long and 2–7 cm (0.79–2.76 in) broad. The leaves fall before the seeds are mature. The inconspicuous, self-fertile flowers are borne in the axil of the leaf and are white, pink or purple.
The fruit is a hairy pod that grows in clusters of three to five, each pod is 3–8 cm long (1–3 in) and usually contains two to four (rarely more) seeds 5–11 mm in diameter.
