Edamame is most commonly known as a soybean. It is a green vegetable and has been used as a main source of protein in East Asia for over two thousand years. Typically, it is eaten as either a snack or in sweets or soups. If you choose to eat it as a snack, it is usually prepared in boiling salted water for about 10 minutes and eaten directly from the pods. Conveniently, you can also find edamame in local Japanese markets fresh or frozen. If you choose the frozen option, it can take a few minutes in the microwave to heat it up and wah lah; you have a quick wonderful tasty treat! So, if you’re craving something salty, put the bag of chips down and sate your salt craving by opting for this healthier choice instead!
