Frozen Edamame - Global Industry Market Analysis Report 2020-2031

Frozen edamame is a kind of food that is quickly frozen and preserved after a series of processing. Edamame is actually fresh soybeans with pods. It tastes fresh and tender and is rich in nutrition. After being frozen, it can maintain its quality and nutrition for a long time, becoming a common ingredient in people's daily diet.

The processing process of frozen edamame is relatively rigorous. The first is the selection of raw materials. Fresh edamame pods with full grains, bright green color, and no pests and diseases should be selected. The edamame after picking needs to be processed as soon as possible to ensure its freshness. The next step is the cleaning process. Impurities, soil and residual pesticides on the surface of the edamame are removed by running water. Then pre-cooking is carried out. The cleaned edamame is put into boiling water and boiled for a certain period of time. The purpose of pre-cooking is to destroy the oxidase in the edamame to prevent it from browning during the subsequent storage process. At the same time, it can also make the edamame taste softer and more glutinous. This process generally lasts 2-3 minutes. The time must be strictly controlled. If the time is too short, the expected effect cannot be achieved. If the time is too long, the taste and nutrition of the edamame will be affected. After pre-cooking, quickly cool the edamame in cold water. This step is called cooling and killing. It can quickly terminate the pre-cooking process and maintain the color and crisp taste of the edamame. After that, drain the water to remove the excess water on the surface of the edamame, and then quickly freeze it. The freezing temperature is generally controlled below -18℃. Quick freezing can quickly form tiny ice crystals in the water of the edamame, reduce damage to the cell structure, and thus retain the nutrition and taste of the edamame to the greatest extent. Finally, pack the frozen edamame into sealed bags or boxes for easy storage and sale.

In terms of nutritional content, frozen edamame retains most of the nutrition of fresh edamame. It is rich in plant protein and is a high-quality source of protein. For vegetarians, it is a good choice for protein supplementation. At the same time, edamame is rich in dietary fiber, which helps promote intestinal peristalsis, prevent constipation, and maintain intestinal health. In addition, it also contains a variety of vitamins, such as vitamin C, vitamin K, and vitamin B. Vitamin C has an antioxidant effect and can enhance immunity; vitamin K is good for bone health; vitamin B participates in the body's metabolism and is essential for the normal functioning of the nervous system and cardiovascular system. Edamame also contains minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium. Potassium helps maintain the body's electrolyte balance and has a positive effect on heart health.

There are many ways to eat frozen edamame. The simplest way is to eat it directly after boiling. Take the frozen edamame out of the refrigerator, without thawing, and cook it directly in boiling water with salt and a little cooking oil. Cook for about 5-8 minutes, then remove and drain the water. This way of eating can taste the original flavor of edamame. You can also peel the cooked edamame and use it in cold dishes, such as with cucumbers, carrots, shrimps and other ingredients, add appropriate seasonings, and make a refreshing and delicious cold edamame shrimp salad. In cooking, frozen edamame can also be used as an ingredient for making soups, stir-frying, etc. For example, adding edamame to tofu soup can increase the flavor and nutrition of the soup; adding edamame to stir-fry shredded pork can make the dishes more diverse.

In terms of storage, frozen edamame needs to be stored in a frozen environment below -18℃, so that its quality and taste can be maintained for several months or even longer. When taking frozen edamame, the opening time of the refrigerator door should be minimized to avoid excessive temperature fluctuations in the refrigerator, which will affect the quality of the edamame. Once the frozen edamame is taken out and thawed, it should be eaten as soon as possible and should not be frozen again, because repeated freezing and thawing may cause the taste of the edamame to deteriorate and the nutrients to be lost.
