How to Make and Eat Edamame, Microwave & Stovetop
Edamame are a popular appetizer at Asian and Sushi restaurants, but they're also a delicious and healthy snack you can make at home. These immature soybeans are full of protein, vitamins, and cancer-fighting isoflavones. Edamame can be found in the frozen food section of most grocery stores (I currently live in Mississippi and we even have them here!)
