Edamame are young, green soybeans harvested before full maturity. They have a tender, slightly crisp bite and a sweet, nutty flavor; common preparations include boiling or steaming in the pod with salt, or tossing the shelled beans into stir-fries, salads, and grain bowls. Typically sold frozen in pods or as shelled beans.

Cultivated across East Asia for centuries, edamame gained global recognition through Japanese and Chinese cuisines. Production now includes farms in North America, with widespread supermarket supply supported by frozen processing and imports.
