MMMMmmm.. Edamame



Recommended Posts

Do you have any idea where I would find this at Walmart? I like the idea

of a healthy snack.< /p>

I've not seen it at Walmart, but if they have it, it would be somewhere in the frozen food section. I've looked in the section with the regular veggies and didn't see it, but I didn't have time to really search for it, either. If you have a Kroger or another grocery store with a frozen health-food/organic section, you could probably find it, though. I've always gotten mine at Kroger.

OK guys I had to try these too!! Sams Club has a box of 12 individual 5 oz packages for less than 8 bucks. You put it in the microwave and put the packet of sea salt on it and enjoy. It is still in the pods so you have to eat slower and it is really good. Even my hubby and kids are eating it now. Thanks for the tip Lauren!!!!
You're welcome! They're an incredibly yummy healthy snack. I've not had any problem hitting my Protein goals since I've started eating them for Snacks. I've even thought about buying the shelled edamame and putting it in homemade Soups and maybe even my bean salad recipe. I bet you could even make a hummus-like dip out of it, maybe add some garlic and other spices. I saw someone on TV make dumplings out of it, too, using pureed edamame in wonton wrappers.

I found it at my Wal-Mart - in the fruit and vegie section- there is a small area with tofu and such - they carry a container (pre-cooked) - 4 servings. I just bought some to see what all the hype was about - it was pretty good - I can see it becoming a staple in my diet. I really want to find it raw - but no luck so far.

Thanks! I am going to look for it. It sounds great, especially if

it's something that goes down easily.

Jeanne you stated that Sams has them in 12 packs. Where are they located? Are they in the freezer section or what? They sound great and I'm going to Sams soon and want to get some.

They are in the freezer section at our Sams with the other vegetables.

If you have any asian goroceries in your area, you can usually find the edamame Beans in the frozen section (both shelled and in the pod). I find they are way cheaper in the asian market than in the regular stores.

If you buy them in the pods, bring Water to a boil, add the edamame Beans, bring back to a boil and cook (do not cover) for the minimum recommeded time (about 3 minutes) to keep them crisp. Rinse in cold Water, sprinkle with sea salt and voila you have a great easy dish. Please note that you are not intended to eat the pods - rather you squeeze the bean out of the pod into your mouth (and lick the salt off the pod).:)

I went to my local health food store and they had the dry roasted edamame in lighlty salted and wasabe. I bought the lightly salted. They are ok. I wouldn't say they are great by no means, but edible. They kinda taste like a sunflower seed to me. Definately might have to keep them on hand though since they are so high in Protein. I might go back and buy the frozen.

They also had the Pirates Booty. I didn't buy it this time, but might catch it the next time.

Thanks for the tips! It actually caused me to drag myself into my local health food store and there is TONS to explore.

Try the frozen, ready-to-cook kind, if you can find it. It's REALLY good. It's become my favorite veggie.

Definately on my Things-TO-Do list. I am going to check the Wal Mart before going back to the health store and probably paying more for them. What is the brand that you buy?

I buy Seapoint Farms, or something like that. I get it at Kroger, though, so I don't know if Walmart carries it.

That is the same brand as the roasted that I bought. I will check Wally World and if no luck, go back to the health food store.

I used to buy the edamame in the pods from Sams Club, but I found the shelled edamame in the freezer veggie section at most stores (walmart, tom thumb, kroger) and now I love them even more. I just started adding a little ranch powder mix to them after I cook and drain and my 3 year old son gobbles it down.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
