How to Clean Edamame
Edamame, or fresh green soybeans, require cleaning and a brief dip in boiling water before you can eat them. Garden soil and debris from the harvest may cling to the pods, which necessitates the thorough washing. The tough green pods won't open to release the seeds unless you boil them first. Select bright green, crisp pods for the best flavor and texture. Pods are overripe and not suitable for fresh use once they begin to dry or turn brown.

Instructions
-
Place the edamame pods in a colander. Sort through them and remove any damaged or shriveled pods, along with any rocks or debris.
-
Rinse the pods under cool, running water. Stir them with your hand so all the pods are thoroughly rinsed and clean.
-
Bring a large pot of water to a full boil. Add the edamame and return the water to a boil. Boil for five minutes so the pods become tender enough to open.
-
Drain the pods in a colander and rinse them with cold water until they are cool enough to handle. Split the pods open with your finger nail and squeeze the seeds out and into a bowl.
