Edamame Soybeans - Freezing Instructions

The attached site gives helpful instructions (with pictures) for blanching and freezing edamame soybeans. We use recycled yogurt containers instead of plastic bags.
Beans can be removed from their pods after freezing if a particular recipe calls for just the beans. We usually eat them lightly salted right from the pod.
