Thank you so much for the beautifully packed plants. I look forward to many years of enjoyment from them and will be coming back to you soon for an apple tree.

Supplied as a packet of approximately 50 seeds.
This Product is Available Now.Also known as Soy Beans these have become a new favourite with restaurants so why not try growing your own for maximum flavour and goodness.
Each pod contains up to three green beans and the cases are a little hairy and fairly short for a bean pod! But what is packed inside them is full of goodness and high in protein. The beans should be cooked before eating. They have a lovely nutty flavour and are commonly served salted. In Japan they are quite a delicacy and are often eaten as a snack.
They are best picked before they are fully ripe as they tend to be sweeter and are best eaten fresh because after the first ten hours their flavour decreases (so what better crop to grow yourself!). They can also be blanched and frozen.
The name 'edamame' comes from the Japanese and means 'steam bean'. They are so called as they were often sold whilst still attached to the stem. They were first documented by a Japanese monk in 1275.
