Seapoint Farms Edamame Lightly Salted Soybeans in Pods

Seapoint Farms Edamame Lightly Salted Soybeans in PodsEdamame (soybeans) is one of my favorite foods. They have beneficial soy protein, lots of fiber, and vitamins to boot, all for little fat and calories - not to mention how fun they are to eat! You may already be familiar with Seapoint Farms Dry Roasted Edamame, as am I, but I was eager to try the fresher Seapoint Farms Edamame Lightly Salted Soybeans in Pods.

Preparation is a cinch: heat by either boiling or microwaving (with a little water), then enjoy! In my opinion, the soybeans in pods are much more fun to eat than the shelled or dried ones - just pull the pod through your teeth to get the beans. A healthy, filling snack that takes a while to eat - sounds perfect to me!

I found Seapoint Farms Edamame Lightly Salted Soybeans in Pods at my local D'Agostino grocery store for $3.29. The nutritional stats are wonderful: a 1/2 cup serving (edible parts only) clocks in at 100 calories, 3 grams of fat (4% of the RDA), no saturated or trans fat, 8 grams of protein and 9 grams of total carbohydrates which includes 4 grams of fiber (14% of the RDA) and 1 gram of sugar. Despite the lightly salted label, these so-called "wonder veggies" have only 260 mg, or 1% of the RDA, of sodium per serving - which is pracatically no salt.

If you haven't tried these before, go check them out at your local health food, Trader Joes or Whole Foods.

I LOVE edamame. And it would be nice to have it at home and as a convenient snack. :)

Hey! I'm a new reviewer too! Mine was just published yesterday. ANyway, just wanted to say I LOVE edamame in pods...the only way to go! So much fun, I was like, "Where have you been all my life?" Just wanted you to know, since you are a fellow New Yorker, buy them at Whole Foods instead, and pay $1.49, rather than $3.29, for the bag. :)

Hey Jessica! Do you get the Seapoint Farms kind at Whole Foods? as well? That's my stumbling block, because this brand is my favorite :)

No, it's Whole Foods (365) brand. Or sometimes I get a bag from that Japanese grocery store if it's cheaper or same and I happen to be there...don't know what brand that is. What's different about Seapoint Farms?
