Edamame, Japanese green soybeans, have a high nutritional value - they are packed with protein and fiber. Unlike the ripe soybeans found in tofu, for example, these beans are the unripe legumes of the soybean plant - they are harvested before they can ripen. Because they are unripe, they have a wonderfully soft texture - making edamame a perfect ingredient that you can use to boost the nutritional value of almost any dish. After steaming or boiling it and sprinkling it with salt, edamame can be eaten in several ways. You can eat them alone, you can make them into a dipping sauce, or you can use them as an ingredient in fried rice or a salad. If you want to learn how to eat edamame, follow these steps.

Tips

  • Do not eat the peel. Shell the beans after cooking.
  • Do not put the beans in the refrigerator for more than a week. If you do, they will become mushy and lose their texture.
  • Some brands already sell shelled beans. This is easy, because some freezer bags can go straight into the microwave - so you can easily steam the beans.
