Ever since I watched saturday cooks the other week where they made chilli soybeans I have been craving them. Used to buy them cold and salted in a cup in the UK and snack on them at work,, I looked at cold storage to no avail,,

Giant has them by the bucketful. Cheap[ as chips.

I love em. Just blanch them for a minute or two in boiling water and you are sorted!

They're in the freezer section of any Cold Storage or NTUC. I've never seen them sold fresh here.

Now you've got me craving edamame too --- so you just put them in boiling water for a couple minutes and that's it?

Edamame is one of the few things I have salt on, slinks. Just perfect. Of course I don't cook them myself. :)

Oh, they definitely need salt :mrgreen: I've only ever had them in restaurants, so I'm not sure how to cook them at home. I might have a look in Giant this week & see if I can find some -- sounds yummy [smilie=mango.gif]

Just make sure they're not genetically modified or you could be getting more flavouring than you desire.

Make them more resistant to nasty pesticides, which end up in your gut.

One of my pet subjects. ;)

They serve them at Brewerkz with black pepper. Very tasty but a bit pricy.
I guess we're not in Kansas anymore.

They say soybeans are a great source of protein. While that may be true, they also contain quite a bit of phytoestrogen, which is the plant equivalent of the female hormone.

Wikipedia says this:

"Because most naturally occurring estrogenic substances show weak activity, normal consumption of foods that contain these phytoestrogens should not provide sufficient amounts to elicit a physiological response in humans".

That's just a tad too heavy on the quantifiers to my taste.
