Description

The listing, Organic Soybeans has ended.

Organic soybeans for planting this spring. Harvested by me last month. They are all beige colored beans.
I will be shipping at least 2 dozen soybeans to the winner of this auction.
Cook the green pods and enjoy them. Let them dry on the stem and harvest soybeans. Make soymilk or tofu.
Cook the beans as you would any legume.
The soybean is the most widely grown and utilized legume in the world and one of the most well researched, health-promoting foods available today. Like other beans, soybeans grow in pods, featuring edible seeds.

Hi, they look like edamame. Are these beans related? Can you grow them out side?

They are the same thing. Do a google ( edamame or soybean) and you will find out that edamame are the green pods that one can pick and eat much as you would peas in the pod. Allowing them to dry on the stems until the stems start to curl; see second picture; and you have the dried soybeans.
I have some plants that I harvest while they are green in the pod, freezing is my favorite method for them; with the majority saved for the soybeans. I make tofu about every month, freezing some, and I make most of my soymilk.
I still have a few hundred stems hanging that I have to take off the stems. I hang them upside down inside until I need them; with totes under them to catch any falling beans.

As for your second question; yes. They are very easy to grow and do well in a well drained soil. Pests do not like them due to their 'hairy' pods. They are so maint. free it sees too easy to be true. I plant them after turning the soil a few times and fertilizing and then I leave them alone. I appear to live in the perfect climate. Rather a bit sandy with good drainage.

Thank you for info, I was very interested, but it something new for me and I just want to be sure what is it. Love edamame, but never grow them before. This is a good opportunity to try;)))

do a google of the soybean and edamame. They are soooo easy to grow. They do great here. We have fields of them that we grow on our property and they are so 'carefree' it is a dream. We 'do' til the soil in the fall after harvesting, again in the spring, then apply fertilizer and til again.( that is just how 'we' do it; to each his own.) Then about ten days later we plant. The fertilizer helps the bean. I have heard that some farmers soak their beans for a day before planting because that helps them open up from their hard shell.
One plant can easily have 50 pods on the plant with several beans in each pod. So, you can grow for the green edamame and harvest a few pods by leaving them on the plant so you have some beans to plant for next year. Very easy to freeze the edamame. I just boil with a pinch of salt and freeze =done :-) thanks for stopping by.
