Other: Be Sweet is an edamame soybean type with 2 – 3 beans per pod. They can be used as a green shelled bean and as a dried yellow bean. Determinate plants offer a great yield. This is a good type for northern climates with shorter growing seasons because they mature early. Be Sweet Soybeans are very high in sugar, and are particularly sweet. Soybeans are a legume, so the plants can help fix the nitrogen levels of the soil to make it more fertile. The plants are also disease and pest free. They grow best when temperatures are between 60 – 70F, and can be planted as a spring or fall crop. They also have very lovely flowers, and the bean pods and stalks are fuzzy. Soybeans are rich in protein, and have been cultivated for more than 5,000 years. They have many uses besides just edamame or as dried beans. They are used to make tofu, soy sauce, soy milk, miso, flour, and animal feed. Soybeans also store well, and shelled beans can be frozen, canned, or dried, lasting for up to 12 months.
