Guest guest Report post Posted March 17, 2007 We bought a package of frozen soybeans in the pod from Trader Joe's. I couldn't find anything in the recipe section about whether the pods are edible, or just the beans. Can anyone help? Thanks, Norm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted March 17, 2007 Just the beans, Norm. But if you have a compost bin, the pods would be great there Peace, Diane , " Norman Sussman " <norm wrote: > > We bought a package of frozen soybeans in the pod from Trader Joe's. > I couldn't find anything in the recipe section about whether the pods > are edible, or just the beans.

Guest guest Report post Posted March 17, 2007 Thanks Diane, Out of curiosity: do you know if the pods are poisonous, or tough, or indigestible, or just have an unpleasant taste? I did a web search, and couldn't find any information on edibility or inedibility of the pods. In any case, we'll shell them and discard the pods.

Guest guest Report post Posted March 17, 2007 Tough, chewy & bad-tasting. I hope not poisonous - I always lick them to get the salt off lol. In Japan, they are often boiled in saltwater and cooled somewhat and served in the pod as bar munchies. You pop the beans out into your mouth; it's fun. Or you shell them before you boil them too.

Guest guest Report post Posted March 17, 2007 I buy the pre-shelled frozen edamame. Better bargain too, since you're not paying for the weight of the relatively inedible pods. -Erin www.zenpawn.com/vegblog , " Norman Sussman " <norm wrote: > > We bought a package of frozen soybeans in the pod from Trader Joe's. > I couldn't find anything in the recipe section about whether the pods > are edible, or just the beans.

Guest guest Report post Posted March 17, 2007 Thanks to everyone that replied. We followed an edamame recipe, and found the soybeans to be quite a treat. As we popped the soybeans out, we observed that the pods were very thick, tough and had bristles. We appreciate your input. Without it, we may have tried to stir-fry the entire pods (that would have been a culinary disaster). Regards, Norm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted March 17, 2007 I'm late to this post....my kids (12 & almost 5) love edmame. Not the pods, just the beans. Popping the seeds is 1/2 the fun. They also love potstickers, w/aiolo sauce. I'll have to check the files and see if the aioli recipe is there. Very easy and delish, w/veg potstickers.

Guest guest Report post Posted March 18, 2007 I dry them, then grind them, and add the meal to quick breads and stews. I do the same with squash seeds. Ben said " Waste not, want not.
