How to Grow Midori Giant Soybeans

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 Midori Giant Soybeans

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.

Culinary Tips

The young green pods of the Midori Giant are best steamed, boiled, or stir-fried. Blanch fresh beans and freeze to store your extra harvest for a winter treat. Prepare edamame, part of traditional Japanese fare, by boiling fresh pods for 3-4 minutes in salted water. Serve them as an appetizer or snack.

Tips From Our Gardeners

“I make ramen at home all the time in the winter. It can be hard to stay on a budget and have a good protein content. Home-grown and then frozen edamame is perfect for that! I eat it all the time and love it.”
