Uses Green Delight Edamame beans are a versatile culinary ingredient. They are most commonly boiled or steamed in their pods and served with a pinch of salt - a simple yet delicious snack. These beans are also a fantastic addition to salads, stir-fries, and soups. Rich in protein, fiber, and essential vitamins, they are a great choice for health-conscious diets.

Growth Habit and Planting Instructions The Green Delight Edamame grows as a bush-type plant, reaching about 1.5 to 2 feet in height. To cultivate these beans, plant the seeds in full sun after the last frost when the soil has warmed. Sow the seeds about 1 inch deep and 2-3 inches apart, in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart. These beans prefer well-drained, fertile soil and require regular watering, especially during pod setting and growth. Harvest the pods when they are plump, green, and the beans inside are fully formed but not too hard.
