| Soybeans
This soybean line that lack the three lipoxygenase enzymes commonly referred to as triple-null lines were developed by Iowa State University. The triple null lines were developed as a special purpose cultivar for use in food productions. Cultivars that lack all three lipoxygenase enzymes do not contain the beany flavor when compared to conventional cultivars. These triple-null lines have gray pubescence, purple flowers, large seeds, high protein, yellow hila and dull yellow seed coat. Click here for more information. Planting Instuctions |

Soybean (Edible) | ||
 |
Description: New bush edible soybeans, Soya hispida, produce excellent green shell beans. Pods grow in large clusters of large beans, usually containing three beans in a pod. Edible soybeans are high in protein, with some having as much as 39 percent protein. These soybeans are good for both Tofu and Edamame. Commercially produced soybeans do not have the same quality as varieties which are considered to be edible. Culture: Sow in late spring for outdoor cropping and in winter to early spring or greenhouse growing. Soybeans are a legume and can be inoculated with a special nitrogen-fixing bacteria (takes nitrogen from the air) that is dusted on the seed before planting. In the greenhouse, use a population density of 25 plants per 9 square feet and three or four plants per foot of row. Plant seed no deeper than 2 inches, one every three or four inches and rows 15 to 24 inches apart. Seeds thrive in warm soils. Sow every 2 weeks for a constant supply throughout the summer. Selection: Half-mature, podded, edible soybeans are used for relish. Bean pods are harvested from clusters of large beans. Beans may be dried for sprouting or winter use. For easy shelling, put in boiling water for a few minutes. $3.99 | |
