Panther Edamame Soybean
Glycine max
Certified Organic
Grown on Our Farm
The elusive black panther, a rarity in the wilds of Asia, has reportedly extended its territory to Upstate New York. Its existence was confirmed at Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture by fearless farmer Jack Algiere. It was Jack, in fact, who kept this rare breed alive; it had disappeared from the wilds of the seed trade. He gifted a few precious specimens to us in 2010, and we've let it prowl around the Northeast for a while. Now it's your chance to give Panther a home in your own garden sanctuary.
These beans are bright green with a hint of purple when at the ripe green edamame stage, and then mature to deep black when dry. Any color in the fresh beans fades upon cooking. If you've never grown soybeans in your garden, it's worth a shot: in addition to fixing nitrogen and yielding tasty beans, the plants sport velvety green leaves that are very attractive.

About the artist
I was hesitant to buy these seeds after reading how difficult it was to sprout/grow soybeans in a home garden. I am really glad I did, 11 out of 13 came up within 2 weeks of sowing. I accidentally plant a kale a little too close to a couple that seem to stunt with a few pods. The other plants are covered in edamame like the picture. I am currently waiting for the pods to fill out and will plant more next year!
