Edamame

"Nutritious, delicious, and surprisingly versatile, young
green soybeans (better known as edamame) have gone from Asian
restaurant appetizer to healthful home-cooking favorite. In the
past seven years, sales of frozen edamame have grown at a rate
of approximately 14 percent a year, according to Linda Funk,
executive director of The Soyfoods Council. Rich in protein,
fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids, the plump beans are delectable
in everything from tasty dips to hearty sliders."
