What are
Edamame?
Edamame are unique
soybeans that are harvested at the green stage. They are
similar to boiled peanuts in that they are boiled in salty
water and eaten as a snack (eat the beans, leave the pods).
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 family seed business located in rural Calhoun
County, South Carolina. We grow and market a variety of specialty crops for
human use and consumption such as edamame soybean seed, blue lupine, onion
seed, and wildflower seed.
We Have Edamame Seed For You!
We became fascinated with edamame in 1995 on a trip to
Japan and soon afterwards began trialing edamame to identify ones that perform well in the Southeast where plant
diseases and our long, hot season are particularly intense. Bellesoy and Korean Black were
the result of these endeavors. We then branched out to include other
edamame varieties, specifically Midori Giant, MoJo Green,
and Sunrise that grow successfully throughout
the United States. Try our varieties in your area. Consult our
MAP to
see what variety works best for you or contact us and we will be happy
to assist us. All edamame varieties are produced, cleaned, and sized
exclusively on our farm or with our contract producers. They are then
tested for germination and purity to ensure that you receive the highest
quality seed. Buy from us with confidence.
For a continuous
supply of fresh edamame, remember to plant varieties of different
maturities as well as planting the same variety at weekly successions
for several weeks. This practice will ensure that you and your customers
have fresh edamame available for a long time!
Research continues today statewide
and countrywide to help
YOU grow, harvest, and market your edamame better. In 2008 we
will continue trialing new varieties to
identify superior varieties. We will also be matching commercial
edamame production with interested processors to further the expansion
of US edamame production. It is indeed an exciting time. Finally, to receive a free edamame brochure, send a self-addressed stamped
envelope to the address below! We’ll be happy to send you
one. (Note that a free brochure is sent with any order as well!)
