Add a nutritional powerhouse to your home garden with Bonnie Plants Edamame. This low-fat, high-protein, high-fiber soybean is packed with folate, phosphorous, magnesium, and disease-fighting isoflavones, plus it just tastes great. A staple in Asian cuisine, Edamame is an easy-to-grow plant that produces profuse pods along its branches. Because the pods mature and are ready to harvest within a 3 to 7 day window, succession plant Edamame every 7 to 14 days to extend your harvest season. Wait for the pods to turn plump and bright green: that's your cue it's time to harvest. Boil or steam the pod, then pop the edible bean out of the pod and straight into your mouth for a healthy, tasty treat. Try adding the bean to salads, rice, or pasta. Edamame grows beautifully in containers, raised beds, or in-ground gardens. Edamame needs full sun and consistently moist, well-drained Miracle-Gro soil. Be sure to water your plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and feed it regularly with Miracle-Gro Plant Food. Edamame matures in 75 to 85 days. With more than 100 years of experience, Bonnie Plants offers high-quality live plant varieties designed for your gardening success.
