What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Chiba Green Soybean Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds offer a compact, highly productive edamame variety prized for its large, bright green seeds and consistent performance across diverse climates. This bushy soybean adapts well to home gardens, raised beds, and small plots, delivering dependable yields of mostly three-seeded pods. Perfect for gardeners seeking a flavorful, protein-rich crop, Chiba Green provides a rewarding harvest with minimal space and effort.

Nutritious, Protein-Rich Homegrown Edamame:
Chiba Green soybeans are valued for their tender texture and naturally sweet, nutty flavor when enjoyed as fresh edamame. Harvest young pods and steam lightly for a delicious snack or side dish, or allow beans to mature if you plan to use them for tofu, soy milk, soy flour, soybean oil, or fermented foods. Their versatility makes them an excellent option for health-conscious cooks and gardeners interested in growing their own plant-based protein.

Compact, Productive Plants:
Despite their modest size, these bushy plants are impressively productive. Each plant forms abundant pods filled with large green beans that hold well on the plant and freeze beautifully for long-term storage. The compact habit makes Chiba Green a natural fit for small gardens or high-density plantings without sacrificing yield.

Reliable Garden Performer Across Climates:
Known for its adaptability, Chiba Green grows successfully in a wide range of environments across the United States. Its reliability, strong germination, and steady output make it a particularly good choice for beginners or gardeners eager to incorporate more protein-rich crops into their garden rotation.

Why Customers Love Chiba Green Soybeans:

  • Large, sweet green edamame beans perfect for fresh eating
  • Compact, bushy plants ideal for small gardens and raised beds
  • High-yield pods with mostly three large seeds each
  • Excellent for freezing or using in a variety of soy-based foods
  • Adaptable and dependable across diverse growing conditions

How to Grow:
Sow seeds outdoors after the last frost once soil has fully warmed. Plant in full sun in well-drained soil, spacing plants to allow air circulation. Water regularly during flowering and pod development. Harvest pods when they are plump and bright green for the best edamame quality, or allow pods to dry on the plant if harvesting mature soybeans. Freeze fresh beans soon after picking to preserve sweetness and texture.
