Beer Friend

70 days, indeterminate — 'Beer Friend' is a popular Japanese variety that is early maturing and prolific. The plants are erect, sturdy, and grow thirty-six to forty-eight inches tall. 'Beer Friend' produces pods that contain three to four beans each (mostly three). The seeds are uniform, large, and light-green.

Although it is an indeterminate variety, the majority of the pods reach maturity at the same time. All of these attributes make 'Beer Friend' an excellent variety for edamame (pronounced "ed-uh-mah-may"). Each packet contains 25 to 30 seeds.
