Soybean Seeds

A note from Jim:
Edible soybeans are high in protein, with some having as much as 39 percent protein. Commercially produced soybeans do not have the same quality as varieties which are considered to be edible.

Sow soybeans in late spring. Sow about three or four seeds per foot of row. Plant seed no deeper than 2 inches. Seed thrive in warm soils. Sow every 2 weeks for a constant supply throughout the summer.

Half-mature, podded, edible soybeans are used for relish. Bean pods are harvested from clusters of large beans. Beans may be dried for sprouting or winter use. For easy shelling, put in boiling water for a few minutes.
