What is Edamame?

Edamame is very popular these days. While an edamame pod may look like a green bean, it isn’t really related. These are soybeans which are usually consumed as an appetizer in Japanese cuisine. Usually, they are sold frozen, but it is becoming easier to find fresh ones at many supermarkets.

Edamame is, more precisely, soy that has been harvested very young. These protein-rich beans can be boiled or steamed. We recommend boiling them for 3 to 5 minutes before serving them with coarse salt and lemon juice.
