A staple in Japanese cuisine, edamame are young, green soybeans that are harvested before maturing. These beans are packed with protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, making them a healthy and delicious snack. Traditionally enjoyed as an appetizer in izakayas (Japanese pubs), edamame are often boiled or steamed and sprinkled with sea salt. They pair excellently with a cold beer or a refreshing green tea.
