Lauren wasn't lying!

This stuff is GOOD!!!

I got my lightly salted bags in the mail today, and I love it.

It tastes just like pistachio's IMO.

And I'm not a huge fan of pistachio's, but these are good. The texture is a lot nicer.

Num num!

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.

I ordered some edamame soy bean garden seeds so I hope to grow my own this summer. Beans - Fresh Soy - Edamame

I found the raw pods in the frozen food section of Walmart near the broccolli

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 think it's time I give this a try!!

Thanks for inspiring me to attempt new things!

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.

I haven't tried the frozen ones, didn't know they were at my grocery store. I will be trying those next.
