Soybeans are a crop and food item added by the Core of RimCuisine 2. They can be grown in temperate and tropical climates after researching Intermediate Agriculture.

They are unique in that they can be used both as a vegetable, or processed into Tofu and used as a protein substitute in meals. When used on their own, they add the unusual ingredient trait to the meal, giving a stackable mood buff starting at 1.

Although it has a slightly longer than average growing time and relatively low yield, the fact that it can be processed into Tofu can save time over hunting or raising animals for the slaughter, alongside being a compact source of nutrition. It's recommended not to process them until a reliable method of refrigeration has been created, however.

It can be eaten raw without any mood penalty, but does have a small chance of giving food poisoning.
