Edamame are green soy beans that are quite nutrient dense and make a great snack with very little work. Just take a pound (or whatever you picked that day) of beans in the pod, boil them for 3-5 minutes in salted water and drain, then sprinkle with some salt (coarse finishing salt if you’re fancy) and pepper and toss them. The plants are tall and upright, and if they start looking a little wobbly just mound up the soi at the base of the plant.
