Question:
Dried peas purchased. Thanks!

I did find the peas at Weiss in Lansdale as someone secrec said. They are ok, not wonderful but will be used for a good protein source. Thanks to the many who replied to my questions and helped me locate them. Are green peas same as edame? I have the edame. If there is a difference, are the peas better?

I'm the one who has posted many times about dried peas. These are different than edamame or wasabe. More data is on my profile page on these. DAVE

I have tried green peas (not wasabi) and edame...I personally like the green peas better for dried of either...but edame (soy nuts) has more protein, I believe. Another alternative to snack on something and get the protein is if you can find fresh (or frozen) edame and cook them. I snack on the fresh steamed ones at night. The roasted soy beans, salted or otherwise flavored...have an after taste to me...but the fresh ones are fantastic! Eating them this way also has less salt, which is better for you too.
