Tell me about Edamame

betsnup

You know - like how to pronounce it, where in a store I'd find out, how to serve it.  We went to lunch w/ a friend and her LO today, and my friend ordered a side of edamame.  D tried it for the first time, and he loved those beans!  But clearly I know nothing about them.  Please inform me.

Ed-u-mommy...

 DD LOVES them too. You can get cheap frozen bags at Trader Joes and then microwave or boil them. Also if you have a Japanese food market nearby...maybe that's just my neighborhood

I think you say it ed-ah-MOM-ee...

It's just raw soybeans I think! They have it in the fresh veggies section and also frozen here at our Wegmans!

HTH!

Ohhh I love Edamame. It's pretty phonetic, but with your best asian accent. LOL

I've seen them in the freezer section of our grocery store. They have an actual "asian" section and that's where I find them.

I've never thought to give them to Sammie before. Did you squeeze them out of the pod first?

I get them dried and frozen still in the pea pod. The dry taste sort of like little nuts. Their pretty good. The frozen come in little trays still in the pea pod. They taste a little like boiled peanuts to me (My ex is from Florida and used to make boiled peanuts. Never heard of them before that). They are yum. I buy them both from Costco.

where in a store I'd find out, - organic frozen food section

 

how to serve it.  - I've had it a bunch of ways...frozen/cold, warm, room temperature.

They weren't in the pod.  My friend's LO couldn't shove them in her mouth fast enough, and D kept trying to steal them.  Apparently they are delicious, LOL.  I had never even really heard of them!

Make sure you buy the package that says "shelled," so they're not in the pod. Taking them out of the pod is too much work for a little one!

I like to toss them with soba noodles and sliced cooked carrots for DD.

Pictsweet brand of frozen vegetables sell Edamame and they are wonderful. If you have a Food Lion in your area they should be on sale 10 for $10. With the Pictsweet brand they steam in the bag in the microwave. I usually get mine still in the shell but they do sell them shelled too. They are my favorite in front of the tv snack.

they are just fresh soybeans as someone mentioned.  you can get them in the frozen veggie section of the grocery store. just boil, steam or microwave and enjoy!

great for snack or side dish.

Same here! DS and I shared some for snack today. He calls them "emmlymommy" or "fwish beans" because he "fwish"es (squishes) them out into his hand.

We get them at Trader Joe's.

I get them with all the other frozen veggies at Shaws.  You can get them in the pod or with out.  I get them without.  You can boil them but when Im in a hurry I just put them in some water and heat them in the microwave.  Sometimes I mix them with peas and carrots.  DD loves them!
