Non-GMO white hylum soybeans have a light colored hylum, which in regular soybeans is dark colored. The hylum is the scar on the seed marking the point of attachment to its seed vessel.
If you make soymilk or tofu with regular soybeans you may get a darker colored product, especially in tofu. Most prefer to have the normal whitish product, thus they prefer the white hylum soybean. The other consideration is that these are Non-GMO.
Edamame or vegetable soybeans.
Dry soybeans are harvested when fully mature and dry. Green soybeans are harvested just prior to maturity, when they look something like green peas. Green soybeans are tasty and may be eaten as a side dish or snack, in salads and soups, or with other food ingredients. We don't harvest or process green soybeans.

Tips for Using Dry Soybeans
Soaking dry soybeans shortens the cooking time and improves flavor. In a large pot, add 6 cups of water for each pound of dry beans. Soak at room temperature for six to eight hours, or overnight. Drain, rinse and cook the beans. (For a quick soak, heat the beansand water to boiling, cook for five minutes, then remove from heat, cover and let stand for one hour.)
Cooking Soybeans
To cook, put soaked beans in a large pot. Add 6 cups of fresh water for each pound of beans and bring to a boil, allowing steam to escape. Do not salt. Reduce heat and simmer for about three hours, until beans are tender. Season soybeans with your favorite herbs.
