Directions Steam edamame according to package directions. Toss while warm with lemon juice, zest, herbs and pepper. Serve immediately, discarding the pods after eating the beans. Inspired by Shared Food Patterns
Blue Zone Connection The combination of soybeans, lemon and fresh herbs keeps this recipe centered on whole and minimally processed plant foods. That approach is consistent with the plant-forward eating pattern associated with Okinawa and Loma Linda. This is a modern Blue Zone–inspired recipe, not presented as a traditional dish from either community.
Helpful Notes Drain the edamame thoroughly so the lemon and herbs cling to it. Serve warm or refrigerate and enjoy chilled within 3 days. Estimated Nutrition Per serving
