Tohya Soybean Seed
About this variety
An early edamame with buttery flavor.
Tohya carries plump, light green pods, most holding three beans that cook up rich and buttery with a pleasantly firm bite. Its compact plants, about 2' tall, ripen their pods at once, which makes one-pass picking easy by hand or machine.
To sell edamame on the stem, pull whole plants, strip off the foliage and bunch the pod-laden stalks. Determinate bush plants with white hairs on the pods.
About 78 days from sowing. Open-pollinated.

Growing Information
Scientific name
Glycine max
Sowing
After the last frost, sow 1" deep and 2" apart in rows 15–30" apart, in any good garden soil. Upright plants are easier to weed. A soybean-specific inoculant can raise yields.
Care
Very rich soil can make plants grow too tall and lush to stand; hill soil around them if they start to lean. Soybeans cope with some dryness, but water during drought.
Fresh (edamame) harvest
Most pods on determinate varieties ripen together. Cut plants near the base once the beans are plump; fresh weight peaks just as pods start to lose their bright green. For retail, strip the leaves and tie plants in small bunches. To shell, steam or boil the pods about 5 minutes, until tender, then pop out the beans; finish cooking in salted water, or freeze at that stage.
Dry bean harvest
When at least 90% of the leaves have dropped and the pods are dry, pull plants up by the roots. Finish drying under cover in wet weather.
Threshing
Shell small amounts by hand; beat bundles of plants inside a barrel; tread on a closed bag of dry plants; or use a well-adjusted thresher for larger lots.
Storage
Store only fully dry beans (9% moisture or less), somewhere cool, or freeze them to keep storage insects out.
