On the allotment ideas month by month, it says that edamame beans may be eaten raw. I thought that they had to be boiled or they could be dangerous.

I bought some frozen ones last week. I had never heard of them. The instructions for cooking just said boil for however many minutes. I put them in a casserole with beef and other veg.

Edamame beans are young soya beans, they cannot be eaten raw. In Japan they boil them in the pods and serve them with salt. When I've had them, I made sure they were well cooked. They don't keep well so the frozen ones are best.
