Edamame are green soybeans that have been harvested before they are fully ripe. They are crisp and firm, retaining their texture after cooking, but don't have the overwhelming "soy" taste that mature soybeans do. An Edamame pod is about the same size of a pod of green peas.
They are used as a snack food and often served as a side dish in Japanese restaurants. To eat them, pop a pod open with your hands, and empty the beans into your mouth.
Can be bought fresh in ethnic markets, or frozen in supermarkets. They are treated more as a vegetable than as a bean.
