2014 Food Journey - Week 1

Edamame.  Edamame (枝豆^?) /ˌɛdəˈmɑːmeɪ/ or edamame bean is a preparation of immature soybeans in the pod, found in the cuisine of China, Japan and Hawaii. The pods are boiled or steamed and served with salt.

I've never tried edamame until yesterday, probably because it's green.  

I asked for suggestions from my friends on facebook of foods I should try, and Kim Gunter Oliver suggested I try this exotic veggie.  (It's exotic to me.)

I found some edamame in the frozen food section and popped the box in the microwave and 3 minutes later...to my surprise, I really like it!
