Panther Soybean Processing

Tess Clarkin and other members of the Crops team demonstrate how we harvest, process, and dry Panther soybean. This variety of soybean was introduced from Japan in 1973 and grown and selected at Stone Barns Center for two decades. After being passed down through three organic farmers-Rob Johnston, Arlo Atkins, and our own Jack Algiere-Panther has become a resilient variety and sought after as both a fresh-eating edamame and a dry black soybean. Seed was made commercially available by Jack and Stone Barns to Hudson Valley Seed Co. in 2008, and they now offer Panther seeds for sale.
Much of the soy currently in production comes from a highly bottlenecked genetic pool, but Panther has avoided industrialization over the past decades by being passed directly from farmer to farmer. Panther edamame is unique among soybeans-it grows exceptionally well, does not require irrigation, and is very high in nutrition. When dried, the beans turn a stunning deep black color, reflecting high levels of the antioxidant anthocyanin.
Participants in this year's Vegetable Farm Share enjoyed Panther soybeans, among many other experimental and heritage vegetable varieties. Take a look at the 2022 weekly pick-ups: stonebarnscenter.org/farmshar.... We hope you'll become a Stone Barns Center member and sign up for next year's share!

So beautiful seed. I'm interisting to learn how to dry edamame seed.
