FAQ – Peeled Frozen Edamame

1. What is peeled frozen edamame?

Peeled frozen edamame is made from young soybeans that are harvested early, removed from their pods, and quickly frozen. The beans are ready to use and do not require shelling.

Yes. Edamame is simply immature green soybeans. When peeled, the beans are separated from the pods but retain the same natural characteristics.

Not necessarily. It can be cooked directly from frozen for hot dishes. For salads or cold applications, light thawing or brief blanching is recommended.
