DRIED SOYBEANS

   Soybeans are another product we grow and harvest.  The United Soybean Board has lots of information on soy products, if you're interested check out the following web address:  www.talksoy.com/overview

    We sell the dried whole soybeans but there are two types: dry soybeans and green 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.

              Buying and Storing Whole Soybeans

Whole, dry soybeans may be stored in an airtight container for long periods.

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.

Purchase Soybeans

    For small orders, use our order form, soybeans are listed after the popcorn sample packs.   

     For those wanting more a large quantity (more than 100 pounds), here is some information which hopefully can reduce shipping costs.

     Shipping costs depend on different factors which we are not expert.  Distance to ship is one, your location (in the U.S.) is another, distance from a terminal is important, as is whether you have a business facility or residential, a forklift and dock, or not.

CONTACT THE FREIGHT FORWARDER DIRECTLY

     Since the variables can be many, we feel that it may be helpful for you to deal directly with our freight forwarder (LTL carriers).   There are many.  One company we have used is called GST.  You may contact GST at 1-800-333-0609.   Ask for Becky or Colleen.  Becky's e-mail address is becky.rouse@gst-corp.com.

Another company is Freight Quote, ask for Nate, tel: 1-800-323-5441, ext. 1553., email ncrooks@freightquote.com.

  • Say that you are a customer of Wisconsin Gold Harvest.  Our zip code is 53137.

  • Tell them you need the best rate to get popcorn from us to you.  You need to give them the total weight so multiply the bags you want by 50 as they are 50 pound bags.  Your order will be on a standard pallet which weighs approximately 40 pounds.

  • Give them the required information and they will give you a quote right then on the phone, or they will fax you the quote in a short period of time.  (If you don't have a fax, have them fax the quote to us at 608-663-5023).

  • If they need it, soybeans are class 50, NMF classification #77080.

  • Mention whether you are a home or business.  It's cheaper if you are a business.  If you have a straight, easy driveway at your home the easy access for the truck may let you get by with you calling it a business address.  If it's a home delivery they have to make extra work by specifying a delivery time, etc.  The trucker wants to pull in, have the product unloaded in a flash so he can leave without wasting time.

  • Mention if you will be unloading by hand or if you have a forklift.  Do you need a tailgate on the truck that lowers?  That costs extra.

  • Ask if it is cheaper to pick it up from the terminal yourself.

  • Think of where else you could have it delivered, a friend who has business with a dock, for instance.

  • Once you have a shipping quote that is acceptable and want to order our popcorn, either the LTL carrier fax us the shipping quote at 608-663-5023, or forward their fax to us.
