In Brazil, it started to be part of the farming activities around 1970.Nowadays, the grit is considered a commodity of great importance, and this year, domestic production may exceed the world's largest producer, the United States. The increase has been caused by the global consumption of soybeans and especially its derivatives. However, there are regions which the consumption is low, mainly due to the lack of experience and knowledge of many consumers. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the influencing factors for the consumption of soy and derivatives. For this, a quantitative-descriptive study was conducted with 110 consumers of both sexes, belonging to economic classes A, B, C and D, aged 18 or over.
