Compared to the frozen Edamame found in most grocery stores (and generally imported from China), this Organic Fresh Edamame grown by Janet, Akira and the crew at Hikari Farms has a flavor and texture that'll make it almost an entirely different bean.
These fresh pods can be steamed and salted or boiled in salty water for a few minutes for a classic preparation. Or, for even more flavor, parboil, then finish them off by sautéing them in a sauce of soy sauce, maple syrup, rice wine vinegar, and Aedan Fermented Foods'
Miso.
