LOVE IT!!!

SHOOT!!! I went out and forgot to get some! Oh well, I'll go on Monday.

A woman after my own heart! I do the same thing. When I get a chance to head to Trader Joes in the Seattle area, I stock up on it

Mr. 1228 and I love the stuff

I *think* it's about $3 a bag, but I'm not really sure. I wouldn't be surprised if it's expensive though, it seems like everything is more expensive up here.

I find it so-so, but my parents love it and we always order it when we have sushi.

How do you pronounce the word?

Well I've always pronounced it ED-Ah-Ma-May , but say it fast. It's good stuff, but I get it at sushi bars only. It never occurs to me to buy it at the supermarket.

I've never tried edamame, but I understand that you can eat them like boiled peanuts (boiled in salted water) and they're quite good. Have y'all tried them like that???

I do, however, eat other soy products and I like it!



Disclaimer: Every time I see a thread about soy, I have minor concerns. Please be aware that soy inhibits your body's ability to take in certain nutrients (magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, etc.), contributes to blood clots and disrupts thyroid function. Also, soy should NEVER EVER EVER EVER be given to babies and children. It is EXTREMELY dangerous because of its effect on hormone production.

Just go easy on it and don't make it your primary protein.

I LOVE edamame....I buy it at the local grcoery store here and it's like $3.75 for a one pound bag. Beautiful. :)

It's an awesome snack! And I try to order it with sushi.

Mmm....hot edamame with salt...mmmmm....

Isn't boiling them in salted water the only way to prepare them? Someone tell me because I thought that was the only way to cook them and eat them.

Blah blah blah....health concerns shmealth concerns. I really don't think anyone on here eats edamame (besides me, anyway) often enough to have any negative effect on their body. I get bags of edamame for less than a buck a pound when it's on sale and many regular bars here serve edamame for pupus and such. I eat it at least a coupla times a week and have been doing so for many years now.

I have yet to have problems with my organs and hormones.

Heh, you should see the deep freezer in my garage - I just bought out Ft. Meade commissary's entire edamame supply and I have 21 pounds of it in there :)

As far as it being good for you or not, I'm sure any health benefits edamame offers are negated by the ton of salt I pour on it!

there is a sauce at the sushi places I have been to for edamame-anyone know what this is?

Was it the ponzu sauce? Has shoyu (soy sauce) and is kinda lemony and vinegary?
