Growing Edamame Indoors: Japan's Hydroponic Breakthrough

from Hydroponics Daily · host Eutrema Ltd

Dr. Russell Shaw explores recent Japanese research showing that edamame can be successfully grown hydroponically under LED lighting, yielding stable, high-quality crops independent of season. The indoor methods produced stronger plants, higher sugar and isoflavone levels, and suggest a way to grow nutrient-dense, protein-rich legumes in vertical farms—opening new opportunities beyond typical leafy greens. https://eutrema.co.uk/shop/fertiliser/liquid-gold-unique-complete-fertiliser/      Professor Toshio Sano from the Faculty of Bioscience and Applied Chemistry at Hosei University University of Tokyo  Wagamamas Nobu Matsuhisa Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Oliver, Heston Blumenthal, Mary Berry, Nigella Lawson, Tom Kerridge, and Rick Stein
