    This is super cool!

    Do you throw the pods in dried & whole or do they need breaking up first? Are you growing these for personal food, and if so, what size of plot do you usually cultivate them on?

      Most of the pods were removed.

      I bought a half ton from my partner’s family. Their plot is like 40 acres, but everybody around grows them too. These are the sweepings from the bottom of the grain silo after they ship the bulk to asia. Hence, they are a bit dirtier and need winnowed again.

      I make and sell soy sauce, miso, tofu, and vegan meats among other things.
