Edamame consists of immature soybeans, Glycine max, harvested at an early stage when the pods are still green and tender. The beans are firm, bright green and uniform in size.
When cooked, edamame offers a slightly sweet, nutty flavour with a creamy yet structured texture. The pods remain intact and vibrant, while the beans inside are smooth and protein rich.
Rapid processing after harvest preserves colour, texture and nutritional value.
