Edamame bean

Edamame beans are young, green soybeans that come from the soy plant. These beans are harvested before they fully mature, giving them a vibrant green color and a slightly crunchy texture. Edamame is a popular ingredient in Asian cuisine and has gained popularity worldwide for its nutritional benefits.

To make edamame beans ready to eat, they are usually steamed or boiled in their pods, which are then removed before consumption. They can be enjoyed on their own as a snack or used in various dishes like salads, stir-fries, and sushi. Some people also enjoy edamame beans as a protein-rich addition to smoothies or soups.

Edamame beans often appear on food labels as they are a good source of plant-based protein, fibre, and vitamins. They can add a nutty and slightly sweet flavour to dishes while providing a satisfying crunch. You may find edamame beans in products like vegetarian burgers, sushi rolls, salads, and noodle dishes as a way to enhance both the taste and nutritional value of the food.
