pronounced ed·a·mommy beans
Ever heard of these?? Yummy soy bean snack. Amanda introduced them to me and Jill introduced them to her. Trent doesn't care for them but I of course love them. I just think they are so fun to pop out of their shells and delve into my mouth. They are very filling and taste deliciously healthy. Plus, you get 12 individually wrapped snacks (really its more like 12 meals with all the nutrients contained) at Costco for only 6 bucks. Thats right- 50 cent meals. That is almost as cheap as a Ramen Noodle meal, except you only suffer a third of the calories, a fifth of the fat and a fourth of the carbs of a Ramen Noodle packet. And then you get a third more protein and a gazillion more vitamins.
Now that I have you all sold, let me show you something that really turned me off from the so called Edamame Bean....
this is what almost entered my mouth when I popped the bean out of its shell. Some sort of red centipede/worm was flash-frozen, then microwaved inside of the green casing, which was inside of the same container that I ate from. I wanted to vomit. I had to say goodbye to the remainder of that container, and I think it might take me a week or two to crave another one of these 50 cent meals. Hopefully this doesn't discourage you from at least trying them, cause if you like boiled peanuts, there is a good chance you will like these- once microwaved and lightly salted.

I was talking to Trent on the phone when you made this discovery, and I was very disturbed for you. I agree though that Edamame is very good. You can get it as an appetizer at Sushi restaurants.
hahahhahahah that is so funny, yet your post was too late to save Jill and I from eating two packs yesterday for dinner!!!...I didn't even look what I was popping in my mouth!!! Yuck! Jill did teach me how to cook them even yummier...yet more unhealthy...boil with lots of salt and soy sauce!! Yum. It is like boiled peanuts!! Ryker did say I wasted money when he saw the big costco pack...but it was cheap and convienent...that boy just does not eat anything green!!
mmm...boiled peanuts
You southern gals and your boiled peanuts! ;)
I love Edamame, there is a company that sells in the in my grocery store and the package reads, "I want my Mame," very catchy. But, I have to admit after reading your story, I don't think I can eat them for a few weeks!
ohhhhhh....that is foul.
