Edamame Beans are very nutrious and make a healthy snack. Their pods are very hairy however. Have a look.

I should say they’re hairy.
But they’re on of my favourite veggies.

Nice photos! I knew the pods were hairy but never looked at them macro-style. Amazing what you see through the lens sometimes.
Never saw these before. Hairy is an understatement. Nice shots Jackie.
I gathered some dry soybeans. Those hairy pods make for unpleasant shelling. I’m going to follow the directions from someone’s blog for cooking them, evidently there is a trick to making the dry beans tasty.
nice macros. Beans are looking awesome despite being hairy. I am sure they taste wonderful as well.
Nicccce! You always have great macros, Jackie!
Yum, one of my favorites too, hairy or not! Do you know if all soybeans are edamame, or do you need to plant a specific variety?
gracias,
Liz
They are hairy indeed! But they make a great macro!
