Edamame are only a recent addition to my soy range and they are great - best when lightly salted in their pods and popped fresh into your mouth but I can see that just a few with dinner might work better for you.

I've never eaten edamame and am a bit frightened to eat larger amounts of soy because I got strange reactions to it in the past (digestive stuff, mood swings, and swellings). For a year or so the only thing I've regularly consumes is gluten-free soy sauce, not even miso. But I've been thinking about trying small amounts of soy again, probably starting with miso and seeing how that works. I'd also like to try tofu, and there's a well-stocked Asian food store not far away which I think has frozen edamame. Fresh ones I've never seen around here.Kath (My Funny Little Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10295143356577259844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-24246880507340543092013-10-30T23:13:41.076+11:002013-10-30T23:13:41.076+11:00If you are visiting Buenos Aires, Chinatown and th...If you are visiting Buenos Aires, Chinatown and their Asian supermarkets are the best to find vegan products and of course shopping for them. You won’t find many vegan products elsewhere, except for very small health food shops which may not have everything else. These fritters look tasty with the beautiful edamame & miso is a great ingredient in anything else! I’ve used it in my polenta, too, so tasty instead of veggie broth.rika@vmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08901767751926870086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-49642934927931096462013-10-30T20:27:57.857+11:002013-10-30T20:27:57.857+11:00I have been ignoring the mint in my garden too - a...I have been ignoring the mint in my garden too - and it has been too long since I have had edamame.

Hope I find some goodies. Luckily I can get edamame at the supermarket but sadly I only have a teeny-tiny freezer so don't have space for any at the moment. I'm sure these would be tasty with frozen peas as well though and are ideal for when I'm low on vegetables as I always have carrots and fairly frequently there's an old potato lying around too! coconutandberrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09808077876445841179noreply@blogger.com
