When edamame is shelled, the beans are removed from the pods, making them easier to eat. Unshelled edamame requires you to remove the beans from the pods before eating. Shelled edamame is more convenient but may lose some nutrients during processing, while unshelled edamame retains its nutrients better but requires more effort to eat.

The foods that are highest in purines are meats like sweetbreads, brains, and anchovies. Edamame and other beans have a moderate level of purines.
Edamame can decrease stomach fat because it is high in protein and low in calories. Protein maintains a feeling of fullness.
All beans come in pods, which can be opened to reveal the beans themselves. Some common beans that are sold still in pods are green beans (string beans), fava beans, garbanzo beans (chickpeas), and soy beans (edamame).
I just read that a study in Europe showed that a week of eating unprocessed soy beans changes levels in the thyroid function slightly...so yeah, I think edamame might affect the thyroid a bit, but the extent of this I am not quite sure...
Shelled edamame are soybeans that have been removed from their pods, making them easier to eat. Unshelled edamame are still in their pods and require shelling before eating.
Yes, you can freeze edamame beans for later use. Just blanch them in boiling water for a few minutes, then cool them in ice water before draining and placing them in a freezer-safe container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 6 months.
No, edamame causes dogs to be bloated and gassy. The soy beans can cause your dog to be gassy (though not all dogs have this problem). However the husks of the edamame, which you likely discard, are fine. Our Cane Corso -loves- the husks. We don't give her all of them, fear of toooooo much fiber, but she's happy to get 4-5 tossed to her while we are munching.
if they are raw yes if they have been cooked no
Soak beans overnight for about 8-12 hours for optimal results.
