Frozen Edamame Sourcing & Documentation

Fresh edamame is rarely available and has a very short shelf life. Frozen edamame is picked young, blanched and frozen quickly, so it keeps its bright green color and firm, nutty bite, and it’s ready to cook in minutes.

Every order is backed by the paperwork your QA team asks for. Product-specific COAs, allergen statements and facility audit documentation are available on request.

Frozen Edamame FAQs

What frozen edamame formats do you supply?

IQF edamame in pods and IQF shelled edamame. Custom pack formats and private label are available on request.

Should I use edamame in pods or shelled edamame?

Use edamame in pods for appetizers and snacks, where guests pop the beans out of the pod. Use shelled edamame for stir-fries, rice and noodle dishes, soups and plant-based foods.

How do you cook frozen edamame?

Boil or steam from frozen until hot, usually 3 to 5 minutes for pods and 3 to 4 minutes for shelled beans. Season while hot for appetizers.

Are frozen edamame ready to eat?

No. Frozen edamame is cleaned, cut and quick frozen to protect color, flavor and texture, but it is not a ready-to-eat product. Cook to a safe internal temperature before serving. For chilled dishes, cook first and then cool quickly.

Can edamame be used in cold dishes?

Yes, once it is cooked. Heat the edamame fully, then cool it quickly under refrigeration before adding it to chilled bowls and cold dishes.

How should frozen edamame be stored?

Keep frozen edamame at 0°F (-18°C) or colder. Reseal opened cases to prevent freezer burn, and do not refreeze product once it has thawed.

Where do you ship frozen edamame?

We ship to all 50 states. Our cold storage network lets us deliver to distribution centers nationwide.
