What about EDAMAME?

Edamame are young soybeans that are usually eaten while they are still in the pod. Unlike mature soybeans, edamame beans are soft and edible, and tasty of course. You may also buy hulled edamame, where the young beans have been taken out of the pod. The word edamame is Japanese for “beans on a branch.” Edamame served in the pod is a popular appetizer at most Japanese food restaurants. It is an excellent choice for vegetarians, vegans, or anyone wanting to eat healthy, particularly since it is packed with low-fat soy protein. Edamame can be served as an appetizer or snack and eaten straight from the pod, or the shelled soybeans can be incorporated into a recipe. When eating edamame still in the pod, the beans can be squeezed out of the pod directly into your mouth.
