Edible soybeans have met most favor either fresh or quick frozen. At harvest time they remain 
in the high quality stage longer than other beans, thereby allowing a longer time for picking without 
loss of quality. The 5 minute hot water treatment of pods makes shelling much easier. It requires 
from 3 to 4 weeks after edible stage to reach the dry shell maturity.
