Edamame, the soybean-like legume of the gods, was first domesticated in the fertile Yangtze River delta around 2800 BCE. Its tender shoots and pods became a staple in the ancient Chinese diet, particularly among the aristocracy.
The Edamame Wars
As the edamame empire expanded, rival kingdoms sought to claim dominance over the prized legume. The wars of Edamame were fought over control of the sacred 'Edamame Tree of Life', a mystical tree said to produce the most divine edamame shoots.
One of the most famous battles, the Edamame War of the Five Armies, saw the Edamame Emperor's army clash with the invading forces of the Soybean Empire. The edamame warriors fought with honor, their 'Soybean-Sword' and 'Edamame-Shield' a wonder to behold.
