Butterbean Edamame

70-80 days to maturity Glycine max

Sweet and buttery, this is the most flavorful edamame we’ve found. And so easy to grow! Marvelously abundant, each plant is loaded with 3 – 5 beans per pod with over a week of prime edibility, a longer window than most varieties. If you’ve always wondered if home-grown edamame is better than at stores or restaurants, know this: Each year we grow several hundred plants just for ourselves. We enjoy edamame salted & steamed on summer evenings and fill our (three!) freezers with edamame to enjoy all winter long.
