apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Thanks for reminding me about all the edamame in my freezer! I like it best with coarse salt, lime, and mint.

And let me point out to the gardeners out there that edamame is very easy to grow and tastes even better fresh! It's nuttier with just a hint of sweetness when you grow it yourself. Like most home garden-grown veggies, it's better from your back yard. The only challenge is the crop comes on all at once, so if you don't stagger your plantings, you have a week or two to pig out, then it's gone (though I did freeze some).

Salt lime and mint - thanks for the tip Kristina - yum! I love these things. I found the Trader Joes bag in the back of my freezer last week and ate them in two greedy sittings. And you don't even have to feel guilty about it. Half a bag has about 180 calories and is packed with vitamins and protein.

I love it with salt and smoked paprika. Sounds weird, maybe, but the paprika gives it a great kick.

Love em. Tasty, healthy, quick, easy. I like mine sprinkled with just a little coarse salt. The shelled ones are great in succotash as a substitute for lima beans.

I have a couple of bags of those in my freezer right now. In the mornings I throw a handful in a plastic bag and carry it in with me to campus. By the the time I'm getting the afternoon munchies, the edamame is thawed and ready for nibblin'. Tasty!

Geez I don't even have the patience to eat the ones in the pods. I buy 'em shelled and eat em by the handful!

A delicious dip made with shelled ones - blend boiled edamame with olive oil, coriander, chile powder, cumin, reserved water, lemon juice. Serve with crackers...delicious.

I get the uncooked ones and I steam them in a bamboo steamer and add sea salt. Yum
