Difference between soy and soya?!


Question: Difference between soy and soya!?
Hi all,
this might be a stupid question but i'm new to being a vegetarian and i've heard the terms soy and soya being mentioned before!. Are these terms used interchangeably, or are they different products!?

If they are different products which one is healthier and why!?
Thanks!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Americans say "soy"!. People in Australia, the UK, and Canada say "soya"!. It means the same thing just a different spelling!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Apparently, I'm the only Brit here who calls it Soy!.!.!.D: Just thought you should know!.

I read that the Soy Sauce I get to add to my Pot Noodle (the sachet is tiny) that they make it with Soya Beans!. So I always thought that Soy was the liquid version of Soya Beans!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The difference is the letter "a!."

The British call it "soya," while North Americans call it "soy!."Www@FoodAQ@Com

Soya is a type of bean!. Soy is the semi-fermented curd of the soya bean!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

No difference!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The difference is the Atlantic Ocean!. We Brits say soya, Americans say soy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
