I have heard so much about edamame I had to try out of curiousity. I got a bag at kroger still in the pods, I followed the directions for the microwave (right in the bag). Sprinkled with some sea salt, and LOVED IT! I can see this being a staple. I ate it while preparing the rest of my dinner, that was an hour ago and still haven't eaten the rest because I feel so satisfied. Now I won't have to worry about late night snacking! Anyone else eat this? Any other way to eat it?

    that's the traditional way of eating it. you can also add the beans to your salads or if you wanted to make a healthy fried rice. I love edamame as well.

    I am too sensitive to the phytoestrogens in soy. It makes me gain or in the least have migraines if I eat too much soy. They are really good on salads though for added crunch and protein.

    I just ate it tonight at a sushi restaurant---thought you ate the pods but quickly learned NOOOOO
    They were delicious and popping them out of the pod killed time--low calorie ---- not in our local supermarket---maybe next time I go to the city.123504.png

    That cat! Precious!

    Edamame is sometimes in the frozen foods - did you ask your grocer? Most chains carry it now unless you are in a small town..?

    it is a great soy protein but dont let your boyfriend/husband eat too much of it...soy is not for men...it not only has estrogen but also attacks testosterone and that is not good for guys....overall...guys should avoid soy products..

    note: this is what I have read....I might be wrong but I see no reason to risk it

    Edamame is in the frozen food section of Costco in Canada. It is near the frozen fruits in my store. I come in a case of 12 serving sizes for about $8 .. It's so easy!! Boil for 3 minutes, add a touch of coarse sea salt.

    I recently found some Greek organic cheese at IGA .. in Vancouver , BC

    I'm in Calgary and I've found them frozen shelled and unshelled at natural food stores, occasionally at Superstore or Safeway, and as frozen containers at Costco.
