Eden Black Soybeans Glycine max are organically grown on USA family farms committed to a clean environment and the most nutritious, life encouraging food. A black, medium large, round and versatile bean with a high protein content, soybeans are known as 'the meat of the field.' Black soybeans are said to be easier to digest than yellow soybeans, and are tastier with their delicious sweet flavor not found in other soy.

In the 1970's Eden's president traveled to China and purchased a shipment of these delicious, naturally sweet black soybeans. These beans were used as seed and initiated the commercial cultivation of black soybeans in North America.

Eden Organic Black Soybeans Beans are most delicious and nourishing because they're grown in living soil, free of pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers for decades. Because of the vital, rich soil that produced them, they have a much higher mineral content and stronger skins that hold fast their vibrant colors when cooked.


Eden Black Soybeans have all of the nutrition and more of yellow soybeans including the natural isoflavone nutrients genistein, daidzein and glycetein. Soybeans are unique among beans because they provide naturally occurring healthy unsaturated vegetable fat.



Use Eden Black Soybeans as you would any other bean, long boiled or pressure cooked in soups, stews, side dishes with vegetables, casseroles, salads, dips or combined with whole grains. In Japan, black soybeans are often seasoned at the end of cooking with a little shoyu soy sauce and grain sweetener such as barley malt or pure maple syrup. After seasoning the beans a slowly simmered until very little cooking liquid remains. This deliciously sweet dish is always served on New Years Day in Japan, bringing good fortune for the coming new year.

To prepare black soybeans, first wash the beans. Then either soak them for 6 to 8 hours or overnight and discard the soaking water, or dry roast them in a heavy skillet until the skin of the beans becomes very tight and slightly split open (do not over roast, it produces a bitter flavor). Boil for two and a half to three hours.
