Edamame (prepared)
Mild, slightly sweet, and nutty with a light salty coating.
Lens analyzedPrepared edamame is steamed young soybeans, still in the pod, lightly salted and sold ready to eat as a snack or appetizer. The pod itself isn't eaten — beans are popped out and eaten straight from it. It's a common restaurant starter that also shows up pre-packaged in grocery refrigerated sections.
Where it comes from
Edamame has long been eaten in Japan and other parts of East Asia as a snack made from soybeans harvested while still young and green. Its popularity in North America grew alongside the spread of Japanese restaurants, which eventually led grocery stores to sell it pre-steamed and ready to eat.
Buying it
Check the sell-by date on prepared edamame, and look for pods that appear bright green rather than yellowed or shriveled. Salted and unsalted versions are both widely available.
Storing it
Refrigerate prepared edamame and finish it within about five days of purchase.
Keeps about 5 days in the fridge.
