I have been reading up on some foods for post op, I am still on liquids till next week then mushy. But was thinking about trying this when I can get to the crunch phase. I see these dry roasted and then I have seen you can eat them steamed. Wanted some opinions. They are high in protein.

I eat both, but I am a big fan of the roasted. Just 1/4 cup is 14 grams of protein. It SO helpful when I need to get protein in and can't handle much volume. Also great when you're having a salty, crunchy craving.

What brand do you buy? There has to be something I'm missing because I mean everyone (and I mean everyone) I know loves them. I must have gotten a few bad batches.

Okay so I'm the only person that does not like these. I have tried them every which way pre-op and then did a taste test post-op...yup, still don't like them.

However, I have heard others rave about the crunchy version. Nice crunch when you can't have chips and pretzels.

I LOVE the fresh ones. I can't eat the crunchy ones for whatever reason. Need to try again, post-op.

I wish that I could help. I don't have a brand. I get the roasted, lightly salted edemame from a local grocer (how rare is that nowadays). It's in bins that you scoop out like where the nuts are. Sorry. I hope that you find one that works for you. I'm a vegetarian & would be lost without them.

Ahh we have a small health food market, I'm going to see if they have any in the bins there. I have to normally stay away from the bins because they put the choc covered nuts, granola, etc all right there with the healthier foods.

That would be a good way to try without buying a whole pack.
