In this thread, we talk about edamame

I am currently obsessed with edamame. I have been eating it every day for the past week. It's really healthy, though. Anyone else love it?

I love it too, but I can only find it at Trader Joes, which I rarely go to. But every time I'm there I buy some. I'm a vegetarian, so I love all things soy.

Do you mind telling me how much it costs at Trader Joe's? I buy mine at a nearby Army commissary and it's about $1.20 for a one pound bag. I think it's a great bargain but I'm not sure.

OK, everybody get ready to laugh at me, but...what exactly are we talking about? I've never heard of edamame.

I buy the 5 lb bags all the time at the store! When they're on sale, 1 lb bags often for for 99 cents!

I know it's kinda bad, but I always sprinkle tons and tons 'o garlic salt after I drain the water. It's so bad, but oh so good!

The first time I had it I put the whole fricking pod in my mouth and didn't know. Nobody had seen me do it and I didn't want to be rude so i kept chomping and swallowed that thing. Later on I told someone how I didn't understand why people ate something so weird and they laughed. Even after I took it out of the pod I didn't like it - too tasteless.

Don't be hating on my edamame, D.!

Seriously though, it really is good. Honest! I love it with a ton of salt.

I love it, but I've never bought it, I only eat it when at my cousin's. I think I'll go get some, I'm going out anyway...

We buy ours at Whole Foods (back in my New England days, we called it Bread and Circus). I know there's one out in Newton--doesn't Boston proper have one now?
