Notes

Smart Shopping Tips
  • When purchasing frozen vegetables or fruits, read the ingredients to make sure there are no additives such as salt, fat or sugar.
  • Frozen vegetables and fruits are harvested at their peak of ripeness and frozen within hours. They have the same nutritional value as fresh. 
  • Store brands of products will usually be less expensive than nationally known brands.
Cooking & Serving Tips:
  • Frozen edamame in the shell can also be prepared this way.  Pop the soybean out of the shell to eat.
  • Edamame can be cooked in a variety of ways: steamed, boiled, roasted or microwaved.
  • Seasoning for edamame is limited only by your imagination. Try Parmesan cheese, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sesame seeds or red pepper flakes.
  • Use roasted edamame in a trail mix.
