Other crops include tomato, cucumber, eggplant, watermelon, corn, edamame, sweet potato, kabocha, daikon and peanut. Fresh edamame should be blanched first before being frozen. Salt and garlic are typical condiments for edamame. Edamame can come in two forms&colon; pods or beans. The edamame pods require a different process to eat. However, fresh edamame will stay edible for three days when stored in the refrigerator. Freezing fresh edamame is another option for maintaining good quality over a few months. Edamame is typically harvested by hand to avoid damaging the crop's stems and leaves. There is some residual agriculture, primarily of "edamame", for which Noda was historically famous.
