Description

Bright green edamame soy beans in pod are tasty and fun to eat. High in protein, low in carbs they make a great snack for carb counters.

  • 2 tablespoons table salt

Notes

You can find microwave instructions on packages of frozen edamame, but I suggest boiling them to avoid wrinkly, dehydrated, sad looking pods.
