Description

Frozen edamame refers to immature soybean pods that have been harvested and quickly frozen to preserve their freshness and nutritional value. This ingredient is very popular in Japanese cuisine and other Asian gastronomies as a healthy snack or as an addition to salads, soups, and rice dishes.

Origin: Edamame has its roots in Japan, where it has been consumed for centuries. Today, its cultivation has spread to other countries, including China, Korea, and the United States, due to its growing global demand.

Properties: Edamame is an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, vitamins (such as vitamin C and K), and essential minerals like iron and calcium. Furthermore, it is low in calories and gluten-free, making it a healthy choice for vegetarian and balanced diets.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: in different countries, it may be known as soya verde, vainas de soja, or simply soya inmadura. However, the term "edamame" is widely used and recognized in the culinary world.
