As far as I know, corn and soybeans are both fine for hermit crabs, I wouldn't feed them as a standard food though because they're not super nutricious (I probably spelled that wrong srry I can't be bothered lol). What food is the soybean and corn in?

Corn and soy are both safe foods for crabs. They both have protein and other nutrients - not sure where you would have heard that they are not nutritious or 'good' foods to feed.

Here is the Nutrition care sheet:
