When to pick soybeans/edamame

18 years ago

I know I saw a thread on here somewhere that said how to tell when your edamame soybeans are ready to be picked, but now I can't find it. Anyone care to share tips?

Im not the best person to answer this, not many of mine made it to harvestable last time, but when the pods are filled out, but before they start drying. It wont hurt to try a few if you think there close. Better a bit young than having to cook them forever!

good luck!
