This is a medium maturing, large-seeded, traditional edamame soybean. Midori Giant is a consistently heavy producer with over 90% of the pods holding two or three seeds. The bushy plants are adaptable to all regions of the US, as long as they have warm day and cool night temperatures.

The nutrition-packed capsules are best steamed, boiled, or stir-fried. Blanch fresh beans and freeze to store your extra harvest for a winter treat. Prepare edamame by boiling fresh pods for 3-4 minutes in salted water. Serve them as an appetizer or snack.

Field Notes:

Growing Tips

• Sowing too early in the season might induce thick plant growth and lower pod production; it is best to sow in the early summer.
• Warm day temperatures and cool night temperatures are vital for good results.
• The seeds will rot or fail to germinate if overwatered.
• Keep soil moist but not soaked before they sprout. Afterward, allow for the soil to dry between waterings.
• Fertilize if the plant appears pale in midseason; avoid high nitrogen content.
• Soybeans prefer a temperate climate and have no frost tolerance.
• No staking is required.
• For cooler climates: soybeans do well in frames, unheated greenhouses, or under cloches.
• Plant next to nitrogen-hungry crops for maximum compatibility.

Harvesting

• Harvest when the leaves have changed from bright green to a slight yellowish-green color.
• After harvest, leave the roots in the ground to decay and release their nitrogen content to enrich the soil with nitrogen for other crops.
