Edamame - Dry Roasted - BLAH-Pooey

They grow on you.  I bought my first bag last week, by the time I was done I was starting to enjoy them.  They're not peanuts, but they  14 grams of protein in 1/4 cup and it's a crunchy and easy snack.  I measure it out and leave it in a bowl on my desk or the cupboard at home and just pick at them all day.  I'm going to order the wasabi flavored.  I was telling my Mom about them the other day and how I couldn't believe that I was actually enjoying them.  She told me you can learn to like anything if you give them a chance.

Too funny.  I looked it up and learned a bit:  edamame are soy beans but picked while still green.  The more common soy nut (which I've used for years as a salad garnish) is the same bean but picked much later when the plant has dried and hardened.  How odd that I like the soy nut and not the same thing only a bit younger and greener.  I do paln to try them from the frozen pods and I'll steam them.    But I think I'll stick to the soy nuts for now.  Soy is a marvelous plant.  Heck, I may even find I like tofu some day! 

Thanks Treading....I used to by the soy nuts all the time.  I love them, but they have way too much sodium for me now.  I would like to find some without sodium.  Maybe I will try the others.
