    Meh, I prefer popcorn. These are just too mushy for me.

      Yes, edamame is a type of soybean that’s picked while still green! They’re super healthy too.

      I think it’s just a fancy word for green beans 😅. Whatever it is, they taste good!

    Not as good as I thought. I might have cooked it too long. 😕

      Cooking it too long can ruin the texture! Maybe try reducing the time next time. Edamame should be tender but not mushy. 😊

    Mmmm, my kids devoured them! Even the picky one! Will definitely make again. 🙌
