Is edamame a soybean or a vegetable?
Soybean is a special kind of soybean, also known as vegetable soybean. Generally speaking, compared with ordinary soybeans, soybean seeds are larger and have higher sugar content. When harvested in the fresh pod stage, the taste is better and the bean smell is less. In the past, farmers often collected soybeans during grain filling and cooked them to make edamame, but at present, special edamame varieties are better than ordinary soybeans in terms of edible quality and nutritional value. Now the so-called "edamame" is not a simple definition of ordinary soybean fresh pods.
