Notes

  • To eat edamame, point one end of the trimmed pod into your mouth, and push the beans out of the pod with your fingers. Discard the pod. 
  • Adding oil when cooking the edamame keeps the edamame beautifully green. 
  • Cold edamame is even more delicious after being chilled in the refrigerator. 
  • Edamame is not recommended for patients with uremia, soy allergy, or diarrhea.  
  • When cooking edamame, be sure to cook the edamame well. Raw edamame is not good for your health.
