Mukimame

If you love edamame, get ready to meet its bigger, bolder cousin – mukimame! These large, flat, green beans are delicious and they will make your life easier thanks to no necessity to shell them as you would have to with edamame

What is Mukimame?

Mukimame translates to “shelled edamame,” and that’s essentially what they are. While edamame beans are harvested when still young and small, mukimame soybeans are allowed to mature on the plant, resulting in a larger, meatier bean. They are then shelled and cooked, much like edamame.

Culinary Adventures with Mukimame

  • Mukimame’s versatility makes them a delicious addition to various dishes.
  • Their sweet, nutty flavor and satisfying texture make them a great choice for adding protein and a pop of color to poke bowls.
  • Toss them into stir-fries for a boost of plant-based goodness or simply enjoy them as a seasoned snack, steamed or boiled in their pods, offering a fun and interactive eating experience.

Where to Find Mukimame

Mukimame may be less common than edamame, but you can often find them in the frozen section of Asian grocery stores or well-stocked supermarkets. Look for them either in their pods or already shelled.

If you’re a fan of edamame’s flavor but crave a heartier bite, mukimame is the perfect way to explore new legume territory. Their simple preparation, satisfying texture, and deliciousness make them a worthwhile addition to your snacking repertoire.
