Im looking at this method because I just received via Amazon.com a 5 lb can of organic black soybeans that were quite expensive. My plan is to plant some of the soybeans and save myself in the future the cost of paying $5.00 a pound for soybeans.
Black soybeans can be used for green manure, and to make soymilk &, tofu, and otherwise they can be used the same as any other dried bean.
