What are
Edamame?

Edamame are unique soybeans that are
harvested at the green stage. They are lightly boiled in
water and eaten as a snack or appetizer by popping the beans
out of the pods. Children love this fun snack!
A recent customer told me that I should forget about saying that edamame are a good snack or appetizer. A bowl of edamame can easily be your MEAL. Go for it!
Frozen edamame are readily available in Asian and health
food stores, and now fresh and/or fresh, organic edamame are
occasionally seen in the marketplace.
With the amazing health benefits of soy, we encourage you
and your customers to explore and enjoy this new specialty
food. |

Wannamaker Seeds is a third
generation specialty crops farm and seed business in rural
Calhoun County, South Carolina. We are pleased to offer you a
selection of traditional and unique edamame varieties that grow
well in the United States. For edamame as sweet as sugar, try Korean Black. For traditional edamame as you would be served in an oriental restaurant, try our most popular varieties Midori Giant or Sunrise. MoJo Green has proven to shine in higher elevation spots according to our customers, although it also does well in the flatlands too. Brand new to our lineup is Lanco, a large green-seeded edamame of main season maturity that produces large pods and high yields. Bellesoy, a late maturing edamame, is perfect for tofu, soymilk, and edamame. Finally we offer sampler packs for those of you who love to try a medley of varieties. In 2010 we’re offering Deep South and Standard variety packs to help make your decisions easier.
In 2009 edamame seed sales benefited from the desire
of consumers to grow more vegetables in home gardens and to buy locally
from farmer's markets or CSA's. Fresh, vibrant green, steamed edamame on
a summer evening are well worth the wait and so healthy for you! Organic
seed sales were brisk as more consumers are eating organic food. We also saw continued interest in large-scale commercial production of shelled edamame or edamame in the pod in the United States. Good luck with your growing season.
In 2010, we will be trialing more edamame varieties of varying maturities to round out our lineup. We are happy that plant breeders at several universities are developing new edamame varieties. We will also be working with selected farmers in the southeast to explore new ways to extend shelf life of fresh market edamame. Stay tuned. |
