Etymology
The word 'edamame' is derived from Japanese, where 'eda' means 'branch' and 'mame' means 'bean.' Historically, edamame was first cultivated in East Asia over 2,000 years ago. The practice of eating immature soybeans became notable in Japan, where they are often enjoyed as a side dish or appetizer. In Japanese cuisine, edamame is valued not only for its taste but also its nutritional profile, rich in protein and essential vitamins. The term entered the English language around the late 20th century as Japanese cuisine gained popularity internationally. As people became more health-conscious and sought plant-based protein sources, edamame found its way onto menus worldwide, being embraced in both traditional and contemporary dishes.
