What is "edamame"?
Edamame is a popular Japanese snack food that consists of young soybeans that are still in their pods. The pods are boiled in salted water until they are tender, and then served whole. Edamame is often enjoyed as a healthy and protein-rich snack, and is also a popular appetizer in Japanese restaurants and izakayas. The beans inside the pods are scooped out with the teeth and discarded, and the pods themselves are not eaten. Edamame is a simple yet delicious snack that is enjoyed by many for its fresh and nutty flavor, and is a staple in Japanese cuisine. It is also a popular ingredient in salads and stir-fries.
