Vasha,

	Whatever you do with the soybeans, do not eat them raw, especially
if they are dried seeds.  Most all dried bean seeds contain a toxin called
hemagglutinin (lectin) which is destroyed by boiling or cooking in the
oven.  Hemagglutinin can cause vomiting, nausea and diarrhea.  Also, if you
decide to soak the dried soybeans, do it in the refrigerator as they are
prone to fermentation.

Good Luck and have fun!

Neil
