Edamame
Edamame is a green vegetable more commonly known as a soybean, harvested at the peak of ripening right before it reaches the "hardening" time. The word Edamame means "Beans on Branches," and it grows in clusters on bushy branches. To retain the freshness and its natural flavor, it is parboiled and quick-frozen. In East Asia, the soybean has been used for over two thousand years as a major source of protein. Edamame is consumed as a snack, a vegetable dish, used in soups or processed into sweets. As a snack, the pods are lightly boiled in salted water, and then the seeds are squeezed directly from the pods into the mouth with the fingers.

Miso
Miso is the elegant Japanese term for fermented soybean paste. A staple of Japanese cuisine, miso may also be made with rice or barley to which mold and salt are added before aging anywhere from 6 to 36 months. This gruesome-sounding process results in a savory paste that ranges in color from golden to reddish-brown to dark brown to black. Miso paste is rich in mouth-filling, unbound glutamates, which give some foods that meaty taste known as umami. Commonly used to give depth and flavor to soups, miso may also be used to make sauces, marinades and salad dressings. High in salt, it is also rich in B vitamins and protein. A staple of Asian markets, miso is more and more common in general supermarkets.

Usually served roasted or pan fried until soft and sprinkled with sea salt, they are an appetizer standard at many yakitori and sushi restaurants.

Garlic
Garlic is a bulbous plant of the genus allium. There are around 500 members of the allium genus which includes other well known plants such as leeks, shallots and onions. Alliums are in turn part of the botanical Alliaceae family. The bulb grows underground and sends shoots (scapes) into the air. At the top of the shoots are sometimes found garlic bubils. Why's it called the stinking rose? We don't really know. "Stinking" is obvious, "rose" might be a reference to the shape of the bulb. The most commonly found garlic in the supermarkets is allium sativum which basically means "cultivated garlic". This is subdivided into hardneck and softneck varieties.
