Edamame Bean 'Summer Shell' Strip Pack
3 FOR £10
Edamame Summer Shell is a variety of soybean that is typically harvested when the pods are young and green. The pods are boiled or steamed and the beans are then removed and seasoned with salt or other spices. Edamame Summer Shell has a sweet and nutty flavour and is a popular snack in many Asian countries. It is also commonly used in salads, stir-fries, and other dishes. However, like other soybeans, it contains toxins and must be cooked for at least 10 minutes before eating.
This variety is well-suited for growing in the UK, as it is tolerant to cooler temperatures and can be grown outdoors in the summer months. Although they can grow to 1.2m tall they are generally self-supporting, making them an easy low-maintenance crop.
