The 'Envy' edamame soybean is a short-season variety that has found its place in northern gardens, where warmth is precious and every week of growth counts. Developed by Professor Elwyn M. Meader of the University of New Hampshire, this variety was designed to offer a reliable and flavorful harvest in climatic conditions similar to those of Quebec.

In the garden, 'Envy' forms compact plants about 60 cm tall , well-branched and easy to incorporate into a diverse vegetable garden. Its glossy green pods , slightly downy with a fine buff fuzz, develop early in the season and promise a bountiful harvest. The beans are harvested while still tender, when their texture is firm and their sweet, vegetal flavor is at its peak.

In the local area, this soybean variety proves particularly interesting for gardeners curious to explore new food legumes without excessive complexity. It thrives both in open ground and in well-drained beds, contributing to the diversification of food crops while enriching the soil thanks to its natural nitrogen-fixing capacity.
