the bean inside a edamame is green, and rounder and bigger than those dried yellow soybeans that i see at the store, but how come they're both called soybeans when they look so differ?! are they the same nutritionally?!

Edamame, or green vegetable soybeans, are whole large soybeans which are harvested when the soybeans are still green and sweet tasting. Edamame is high in protein and fiber. Edamame is sold in Asian and natural food stores, shelled or still in the pod

The edamame is soybean that is taken before it has ripened or dried. The beans in the pods will dry after the plant dies in the fall.

Did you know that a Killer Whale is actually a type of dolphin?
Just because it looks different doesn't mean that it's not very similar genetically. It all comes down to the classification.
