edamame

I’m betting you just eat the pea.

I believe you have answered your own question, OP.

You just eat the pea but what I don’t understand is the fact people cook and season it as if you’re supposed to eat the outer shell. What’s the point!?

R3 is asking the only important question here. I suck on the outside a bit just to be polite to whomever seasoned it.

SoyBEAN, SoyBEAN. -- not SoyPEA!

Yes, eat the whole thing, OP. The roughage is good for you.

Bonus point if you eat the stalks, too.

r3 - it gets steamed in the pod, then salted. You put the steamed pod in your mouth, use your teeth to extract the peas and eat them with the salt, discarding the pod. There you are now as knowledgable as a 2 year old Japanese kid,

Some eat the whole thing, some just the pea. The pod has fibre, but it also is higher in lectins which is a protein that effects some people's digestion.

I swear I can wipe my own ass

I read this as EAT ME

Subpar Japanese snack.

Don't eat too many OP, otherwise your man boobs will double in size.

I'm surprised they're not that popular in the US. They're delicious and a excellent source of protein.

Edna! Have you seen Penny!?

EAT ME

These are gross. Taste like wallpaper paste.

Did you eat Edna?

Soy protein does not cause man boobs,.

Hate it.
