Edamame BeSweet 2001 Seed

Glycine max

Item #7309

LARGE PACKET

95 days. Edamame is no longer an “ancient Chinese secret” or just a specialty food in Asian cuisine. Hungry gardeners and food lovers worldwide have discovered the joy of a warm, salted bowl of edamame beans (popular in Japan) for snacking, and how the shelled beans add great flavor and extra protein to rice or pasta dishes and salads. The BeSweet 2001 variety is high in isoflavones, and was bred for its excellent yields and the sweet flavor of its large beans.

The 24" tall, well-branched plants contain multitudes of pods with 2-3 beans in each, and grow well in a sunny location with warm soil and good drainage. You can never have enough edamame beans on hand. Sow seeds every two weeks to ensure a continuous harvest from late summer to frost. Beans can be blanched and frozen, so you’ll never waste a single bean! Instructions for harvesting and storing are inside packet.
