Selling food products Thomas, do you feel this is best done by minimalist phrasing or by wording that brings the exquisite taste of the product alive in the imagination, i.e. prose for the reader to 'savour'?
Thomas Pfann Oct 17, 2017:
Vielfältiger Einsatz in der Küche oder als Snack. Das „zum Auszuzeln“ würde ich hier unter den Tisch fallen lassen. Ob die Bohnenkerne nun herausgezuzelt oder mit dem Finger aus der Hülse gepuhlt werden sollen, kann (und sollte) dem Leser überlassen bleiben.
Lancashireman Oct 17, 2017:
Localisation zuzeln = suck, lick, slurp
But that's not going to work in the English-speaking world. Maybe not even in the German-speaking world outside Bavaria.

Proposed translations

Selected

to savour in the mouth / to chew on

https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/zuzeln
zuzeln = saugen
But I don't think the verb 'suck' works in English.

A snack can be wolfed back. This is one that deserves 'savouring':

savour: to enjoy food or an experience slowly, in order to enjoy it as much as possible

Thanks. I think that the image of nibbling (rabbit) or a grazing (sheep) should indeed be avoided.

nibble on/graze on

I feel this is more natural sounding.

German term (edited): als Snack zum Auszuzeln

to be enjoy as a snack

In the context of "als snack zum Auszuzeln" I would leave the nibbling/sucking/chewing out of the TT altogether, as Thomas suggested. "Savour" is well on the right track, but again "savour in the mouth" is too specific for an English reader.

However, you can still convey the sense of pleasure the consumer should have by using another word that is more appropriate for an English audience. I would go with "to be enjoyed as a snack". Personally, I find that "savour" sounds a bit too luxurious for an edamame ;)

I apologize for the typo, that should say "to be enjoyed as a snack", not "to be enjoy"!
Example sentence:

A versatile ingredient in many recipes, or to be enjoyed as a snack.

finger food

Organic soybeans, or edamame, are a healthy finger food choice in moderation for little ones.

finger food to be sucked, sounds not very appetising. I usually open them and pull out the beans.

to eat straight out of the pod

is what I would say, since the beans are inside pods and this includes the idea of auszuzeln without using suck or anything similar
