Traditional unfermented food uses of soybeans include soymilk, from which tofu and tofu skin are made. Fermented soy foods include soy sauce, fermented bean paste, nattō, and tempeh. Fat-free (defatted) soybean meal is a significant and cheap source of protein for animal feeds and many packaged meals. For example, soybean products, such as textured vegetable protein (TVP), are ingredients in many meat and dairy substitutes.

Soybeans contain significant amounts of phytic acid, dietary minerals, and B vitamins. Soy vegetable oil, used in food and industrial applications, is another product of processing the soybean crop.

Soybean is the most important protein source for feed farm animals (that in turn yields animal protein for human consumption).
