Germination of boiled soybeans

This is a germinated boiled soybean.

It took ten days to germinate.

You can see pink-tinted thing by the germinated one.

Yes, it's a strawberry fruit.

This is strawberry bed.

We will be able to eat the fruits after one week.

I don't think that your "boiled soybeans" have been boiled yet! :) They are just "soybeans" until they get dipped in hot water.

You are right!
I should say it green soybean.
But we discriminate between soybean and green soybean(boiled soybean)in here.

Soybean means Daizu; Green soybean means Edamame in Japanese.
Edamame has two means,green soybean and boilded soybean.

Daizu will be ingredient of Miso, Shoyu, Tofu and Natto as you know. But Green soybean never be ingredient of them. It's just boiled or cooked as Edamame soupe.

Thank you for your comments

I did not know that edamame and tofu came from different kinds of soybeans. Interesting! I suppose I should not be surprised, because so many other plants have different types for different uses.
