Other: The Korean Black is an heirloom late bush soybean known for its very sweet taste. The beans can be enjoyed fresh, as edamame, or dried for use in soups and rice dishes. The compact, bushy plants can be grown in containers and are known for their high yield. As a legume, soybeans help fix nitrogen levels in the soil, enhancing fertility. The plants are resistant to disease and pests, thriving best in temperatures between 60 and 70°F, making them suitable for planting as a spring or fall crop. Soybeans also feature attractive flowers, and the bean pods and stalks are fuzzy. Rich in protein, soybeans have been cultivated for over 5,000 years and are used in various products like tofu, soy sauce, soy milk, miso, flour, and animal feed. They are also good for long-term storage; shelled beans can be frozen, canned, or dried, lasting for up to 12 months.
