    About Edamame Hummus

    Edamame Hummus is a rich and high-protein appetizer dip made using edamame beans (green soya bean).

    This dip is popularly sold at Trader Joe’s, but making your own at home is much more economical, and the taste is also much better than the store-bought tub.

    This vegan and gluten-free dip comes together in under 5 minutes. It has a rich and creamy texture and a lemony, earthy flavor.

    If you like the classic hummus recipe, this green hummus will also be a hit.

    This green soya bean dip is great for veggies, crackers, or pita bread parties. It also makes for a great sandwich spread.

    You can easily double or triple Trader joe’s edamame hummus recipe if making it for a crowd.

    Here are some more hummus recipes

    • Pumpkin Hummus
    • Black Bean Hummus

    Health Benefits Of Edamame

    Edamame Beans are green or immature soya beans. The term means “stem beans,” presumably because they were traditionally sold with attached stems. 

    Pronounced as eh-da-ma-meh, these young soybeans are one of the few plant-based foods considered a complete protein. One cup of cooked edamame beans contains about 18 grams of protein. This is about 36% of the daily recommended intake for protein.

    Edamame beans are also a good source of fiber. One cup of cooked edamame beans contains about 8 grams of fiber. This is about 32% of the daily recommended intake of fiber.

    These green soya beans are a good source of several vitamins, including vitamin C, folate, and K.

    Edamame beans contain phytonutrients, such as isoflavones and saponins, that have many health benefits.

    Isoflavones can help to protect against cancer, heart disease, and osteoporosis, while saponins can help to lower cholesterol levels and protect against cancer.

    Ingredients

    Edamame hummus ingredients

    Edamame – You can use fresh or frozen edamame bean kernels to make this dip.

    Thaw the frozen ones by running them under cold water in a colander before you add them with other ingredients to make this creamy hummus.

    If using fresh beans, cook them in water until tender. Drain, cool, and use.

    You will get frozen edamame beans in the freezer section of large grocery stores. Fresh ones will be available in the produce section.

    Garlic – Garlic adds a lovely flavor to this dip. You can increase the quantity of garlic if you like that prominent garlicky flavor.

    Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Always go for a good quality extra virgin olive oil. You can also replace EVOO with sesame oil.

    Tahini – You can make tahini at home or use the store-bought one. If you are short on time, you can directly add toasted sesame seeds while blending. Check out my homemade Tahini recipe here.

    You can replace the tahini with almond butter or peanut butter for a taste change.

    Cilantro – Cilantro adds a nice refreshing flavor along with adding color to this healthy dip.

    Lime Juice – Use freshly squeezed lime juice (or lemon juice) to add a refreshing taste and a slight tanginess to the hummus.

    How To Make Edamame Hummus

    Preparation

    Start by preparing the Edamame beans. If using fresh Edamame pods, shell the beans and cook the kernels in water until tender. Drain and use them in the recipe.

    If using shelled frozen beans that are mostly pre-cooked, rinse with water, drain, and use.

    If you are using frozen whole beans, shell them, run them under cold water, and use them.

    Peel the garlic cloves, juice the lime, and gather the remaining ingredients.

    Make The Hummus

    In the bowl of your food processor or high-powered blender, combine 

    • 1 cup shelled edamame beans kernels
    • 1 whole garlic clove (peeled)
    • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    • ¼ cup tahini
    • 2 tablespoon cilantro
    • 2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
    • ½ teaspoon salt.
    All the ingredients added to a blender.

    Process for about 1½ minutes, pausing to scrape down the sides and base of the bowl as necessary until the mixture is well blended.

    If your hummus is too thick or chunky, run the food processor while drizzling in 1 to 2 tablespoons of chilled water, as necessary, until it reaches your desired consistency.

    Taste and blend in additional salt if needed.

    Scrape the hummus into a small serving bowl.

    Lightly drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the top and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and some edamame kernels.

    Serve at room temperature or chilled.

    Ready edamame hummus.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Are edamame beans poisonous?

    No, edamame beans are not poisonous. They are very healthy and nutritious. However, it is essential to cook them properly before eating. Improperly cooked edamame beans can contain toxins that can harm your health.

    Variations

    No Tahini – You can skip adding tahini and add peanut butter instead. Or you can make it without tahini and not substitute it with anything.

    No Oil – Skip adding extra virgin oil. Add water instead.

    Wasabi Powder – You can add a little wasabi powder, adding a subtle pungent flavor to your edamame hummus.

    You ca also add roasted red peppers, cooked beets, avocado etc to this recipe.

    Usage Suggestions

    Serve edamame hummus as a dip with pita bread, pita chips, crusty bread, homemade bread, rice crackers, chips, nachos, lavash, crackers, or raw veggies such as carrots, cucumber, celery sticks, and beetroot, etc. for a healthy snack.

    You can slather this delicious dip on healthy sandwiches, burgers, rolls, or wraps.

    Add it to your mezze platter with falafels, baba ganoush, pickled vegetables, and pita bread.

    You can also make an open toast or flatbread, topped with edamame hummus and some grilled or roasted veggies, chicken, or other meat.

    Storage Suggestions
