Anyone ever try Edemame???

[moosmom]

It's actually soybeans in the pods. They're found in the organic frozen section of the grocery store. You put them in a steamer with a little water and steam them for 5 minutes. Sprinkle them with sea salt and eat them like you would an artichoke to get the beans out. Great snack, low in calories high in protein. Ya gotta try them, they are awesome!!!!

No - but roasted soy nuts (I can only find the salted), though high in fat, are really filling cause they're loaded with protein. I take them as a morning snack to work.

The steamed ones sound delish!

Love, love, love them!
To me they are kind of like Tofu -- they absorb the flavor of whatever they're in. So, I throw them into all kinds of things.

I use them all the time, have for years. I buy them out of the pods, and steam them for a side veg with most any meal. Whole Foods has them at the BEST price, in their own "365" brand.

I love them! I get them as an appetizer at the really great sushi place I go to. YUMMMM!


I've also found them at the Wegman's foodstore, in the case where they have their fresh made sushi packaged.

I love them and sometimes put raw beans in a salad. I love them cooked as well. I usually buy frozen ones....organic....delicious.

The one Green Giant mix, either Healthy Weight or Healthy Vision (or whatever it's called) has one with black beans and edemame in it. It's fantastic!!

"Try" them? They've been a regular occurance at our house for about as long as I can remember.

chalk me up as another addict!
I bought 2 bags on Monday and just finished them!
I used Kosher salt and some tarragon vinegar on my last batch and steamed them up!

[moosmom]

Staci,

Aren't they the BOMB???

Staci,

Aren't they the BOMB???

lol- yes they are!
now to see if I can find them locally here in po-dunk! I got these at Meijer in Findlay.
And I've never had artichokes either - now I'm intrigued!

[shais_mom]

I stocked up tonight. Literally stocked up.
I found a whole slew of different brands at Kroger.
in the pod and shelled.
salted and not
I found some that were Dora Explorer ones and they come in a little packet!
I thought that was cool. Easily packed for snacks!!

[dukedogsmom]

Every time I go to the sushi place, I get them. They are delicious! I'll have to look for them in the grocery store, too. Didn't know you could get them there. Now I want some.
