Super Easy Veggie of the Week: Edamame

What is edamame? (pronounced ed-a-MA-MAY)
Edamame is a the Japanese name for fresh soybeans!

They are super easy to make...
Take them out of the freezer, and microwave for 3-4 minutes in the microwave right in the package.


Out of the package they look like this:


We just put them on the table in their pods (above)
and let everyone shell them as they go!



Our kids love to eat this...I think they especially like picking them out of the pods.
