Edamame is one of the foods that easily lose their freshness.Therefore, the trick is to boil them while they are fresh.Here is how to select fresh edamame.

BRIGHT GREEN
As edamame loses freshness, it turns yellowish. Select fresh and bright green ones. Also, edamame with branches are fresher.
THE PODS ARE PLUMP
Good edamame are characterized by plump pods. Select those with a clear nape when viewed from the side.
STRONG DOWNY HAIR
As the freshness of the green soybeans declines, the downy hair of the green soybeans becomes less visible. If the green soybeans have strong downy hair, it is proof that the green soybeans are fresh.

Keep these three points in mind when purchasing fresh and delicious edamame.
