'Edame' or Soybean Seeds
We have found a variety that does grow in the UK!
Soybeans are delicious when shelled out young and tender and boiled , served with a little butter and salt, or put in soups, stews etc.
It is the bean seeds you eat – ‘edame’ – not the pods.
Gaia Soybean
A new short-season edame soybean - gorgeous black seeds, which - dependent on weather - often form a a thin emerald stripe up the edge. A great dual purpose variety - as tender and tasty as any green edamame when cooked fresh, but also can be dried.
Bred from a single plant discovered by Owen Bridge of Annapolis Seeds in 2010, we grow just a few packets each year.
