For many centuries the soy bean has been an im- 
portant food of Northern China. The soy bean is 
high in protein and makes an excellent substitute for 
meat. During the past few years edible varieties 
have been developed suitable for our climate and taste. 
Edible soy beans are shelled and cooked as green beans 
in same manner as limas. Soaking the pods for a 
few minutes in boiling water makes shelling much 
easier. 
DRY BEANS FOR BAKING

most housewives consider the pea or navy bean the

string run up and down between the wires will act as 
a support for the beans.
