As I believe I've mentioned before, this year I requested the my daddy order soybean seeds for his garden. Allison and I have been excitedly anticipating the day when we would be able to enjoy it fresh from the garden.
A couple weeks ago, Allison told me to go out and get a picture of the "baby edamame." It doesn't look too small in these pictures, I admit, but we weren't exactly sure when to pick it.
For anyone who may be in the same predicament, I found out today that it is not enough to wait until the pod starts to budge out a little. It's better to wait until the beans are visibly large, because what you see is apparently what you get. Believe me, I've eaten many pinhead-sized soybeans today. :)
We were excited to try our new treat today at lunch. Sorry that the picture is foggy, that's the steam from my edamame. The larger beans (like this) were quite tasty, although our particular variety apparently has hairy pods. (You can see some of the fibers in the picture.) Does anyone know if this is normal?
