Soybeans originating from Japan, edamame, are rich in protein and fiber. Because these soybeans are young, unlike the mature soybeans found in tofu, their soft texture makes them the perfect ingredient to add nutritional value to any meal. Once the edamame is steamed or boiled and given a pinch of salt to add flavor, you can eat edamame in a variety of ways, from eating plain edamame, making edamame pasta, or enjoying edamame as a key ingredient in fried rice or salads.

- Avoid storing edamame in the refrigerator for more than a week, as the edamame beans become mushy and lose texture.
- Certain brands of edamame beans distribute shelled edamame nuts. This type of edamame makes it easy, because the frozen edamame wrap can be thawed in a microwave oven.
