I was thinking of trying to roast soybeans for a snack. Does anyone have experience doing this?

I read one thing online where they say to soak the beans and remove the hulls after boiling them. Is that necessary? Cant you just put them in the oven and heat them up? Does it make a difference?

My beans in the field are just starting to defoliate. Pods are brown, beans are yellow, but I can still leave a fingernail mark in them pretty easy but have no clue what the moisture is.

I think I am going to give it a try. It seems a waste to go to the store and buy a bag of potato chips, when I have acres of edible snack food right here.
 
I think it's best to boil them then dry them. I've heard they can make you pretty sick if they are not thoroughly cooked, dry heat doesn't get it. They've got something in them that interferes with digestion. I was told years ago to always cook soybeans twice. I think that meant to boil the bad parts out, then cook to prepare them however you want to eat them. You might want to try a small bit first then wait a day or two before filling up on them.
 
They're a pretty tasty snack.

I think the soaking is intended as a means of adding salt.

It is easy to bake them too long, they will taste burnt if their
color gets much darker than that of a paper bag.

We never worried with removing the seed coat.
 
Mom roasted some when I was in college. I'm not sure what she did but they were really good, maybe too good. After a while after eating them I would have been ready for a colonoscopy :oops: :lol:
 
Fella came into the dealership in Sioux Falls when I was there back in 1970. He was handing out samples of roasted soybeans, but I didn't care very much for them. He had a candy store down the street and wanted to know if he should roast them and try to sell them in his store. I didn't encourage him.
 
Ah but the best is go out in the field after peanut harvest, gather up left-over roots, get your old aunt to roast them in the oven, lots of peanutoil and salt...
 
A local shop used to sell oil and salt roasted soybeans. Tasted
somewhat like peanuts . As previously stated too many of
them can upset the digestive tract with a wicked case of the
pharts.
 
Tried some, they were good, wicked is an understatement when describing the results. Was asked not to do that again.
 
years ago, local feed mill use to roast em for feed. ate a few from there from time to time but those weren't really intended for human consumption. they were good but as I recall they weren't flavored or salted or anything.
 
When I was a kid my folks ordered an edible soybean seed and my mom cooked them various ways but none were extremely tasty. Later the Missouri Soybean Council under the leadership of one of my former students, Council President Dale Ludwig, sent out sample packets that were about the size of the peanut packets given on plane flights. These were not much better than the ones Mom cooked years earlier. As a novelty I may try a few this winter.

I asked him to send me some promotional products to give out at a 4-H field day and he sent some crayons made with soybean oil
 
Years ago someplace, cannot remember where or when, but they were so bad could not eat even half the sample packet.
 
We buy them... like them a lot (the store-bought
ones are too salty though.

Going to give it whirl making some. Found
instructions (which does say to boil once, toss
the water... then boil again).

Can remove hulls but don't have to if you don't
want to.

I've had roasted soybeans that were really good, and some that were not so good. What the difference was I don't know. I've always tried them in a roasted and salted variety. You may have to experiment to find a recipe that is to your liking. -Andy
 
Years ago, at the local grain elevator, there was a teenage kid that worked there. He ate soybeans, fresh from the field, all day long. He also bounced off the walls. Apparantly they are very high in energy and he was there best worker.
