Edamame (soy beans)

Have you ever tried these? I first discovered them in sushi restaurants, served as an appetizer with salt sprinkled on top. I absolutely loved them, and have ordered them every time I go ever since! I stumbled upon a bag of edamame in my local grocery store recently and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I had them for lunch today and they are just as tasty as they are in sushi restaurants! You can buy them in shells (like they serve in restaurants), or shelled. All you need to do is boil them up (or microwave apparently), and add a touch of salt! So good for you, full of protein, potassium, and fibre. Plus, who doesn't enjoy a salty snack every once in a while?
