Lanco Edamame Bean

Description:

Grown in Pennsylvania for many years, "Lanco" is thought to stand for Lancaster County and may have come from Asia in the early 1900s. The large green seeds have a mild, nutty, sweet flavor. Hardy plants may grow 34 feet tall if seeded early, and the harvest window is best caught when the tops of the plants start to lose their deep green color but before the leaves begin to yellow.
