I bought some of the Soy Green Beans and cooked them per
instructions on the package.

At first, I mistakenly thought they were past maturity and had
become tough and inedible and was going to take them back and
complain.

Then I read the package and it says not to eat the pods. You just
strip out the beans and eat them which by the way were completely
delicious.

Save yourself the trouble and get the shelled ones next time. I use them
to replace a lot of the dried peas in my pea soup recipe. Even my non-LC
guests can't tell the difference.

Standard for the bean family that you should only eat the
seeds not the pods. Edamame are a standard appetizer at
Japanese restaurants. Squeeze the pod and one of the
little beans shoots into your mouth. Delicious.

oh yeah - you can't really eat the shell with all those hairy hairy bits all
over them. the hairs will most likely give me a rash on my lips before I get to
the pods.
