In this episode we learn about the medicinal properties of the soybean, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, and how this food can help increase longevity and lower blood cholesterol levels.
China is recognized as the home of the soybean plant. Having cultivated soybeans for over 5000 years, China's domestication of wild soybean evolved with Chinese civilization.
Abundant with professional and technical resources, China has achieved outstanding results in soybean research, and is striving to strengthen exchange and cooperation with other countries.
China's soybean imports are likely to touch a record high of 57.5 million metric tons in 2012, up 9.3 percent year-on-year, due to the country's booming demand and shrinking domestic output.
