White Lion Edamame Soybean Seeds – Organic, Non-GMO, Early Maturing, 3–4 Beans per Pod

The Home Garden Edamame That’s As Easy to Grow As It Is Delicious

White Lion is a certified organic, non-GMO, open-pollinated edamame soybean developed specifically for the home garden and human diet — and it delivers. This early-maturing Japanese variety produces a prolific quantity of pods, each containing 3 to 4 plump beans with white pubescence and exceptional sweet, buttery flavor. Unlike field soybeans, White Lion was bred for fresh eating: tender, nutritious, and delicious hot or cold. Most pods mature at the same time, making harvest clean and efficient. Compact bush plants need no staking and are attractive enough to double as an ornamental.

Highlights

• Certified organic, non-GMO, open-pollinated — untreated
• Early-maturing Japanese edamame variety
• 3–4 beans per pod; prolific yield; pods mature simultaneously
• Bush habit — no staking needed; container-friendly
• High in protein, fiber, calcium, iron, and vitamins

In the Kitchen

Boil fresh edamame pods in salted water for 5–6 minutes and enjoy warm as a snack, or cool for salads, grain bowls, and sushi. Shell and toss into stir-fries or fried rice. White Lion’s rich, sweet flavor is exceptional even for those who don’t typically enjoy tofu or soy products. Allow pods to dry fully on the plant for dried soybeans to use in cooking.

Growing Guide

• Direct sow outside after last frost danger has passed
• Depth: 1" deep; spacing: 4" apart; rows 24–30" apart
• Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile; soybeans fix their own nitrogen
• Conditions: Warm days and cool nights produce the best results
• Harvest: When pods are plump and bright green; harvest simultaneously as most pods mature together
