This snack defies the rule of "if it tastes good, it must be bad for you." I am into the low-carb diets and was thrilled to see that this only had 3% carbs in a serving. I am also diabetic so I need to watch my carbs. This is a fantastic and tasty solution. Snacking on these helps me easily make it between meals without being too hungry and gorging on things that I should not be consuming like office donuts. It also has 10% iron and 34% fiber. The taste is a little like peanuts but the texture is crunchier - more like half-popped popcorn kernels.

This is a wonderful snack. Perfectly salted (light salt), very crunchy and satisfying. Great product for diabetic as it's high fiber and protein, but low carbohydrates. Great replacement for peanuts.

These green soy nuts are a delicious alternative to the smaller soy nuts that you usually find in grocery stores. They are great by themselves and also make a great addition to a trail mix with other nuts and dried fruits. Buying them by the dozen is great because the packages are small. A good value too, as the only other place I've seen them charges over 1.50 per bag.

I bought this as an alternative to chips..and..because they were on sale. I loved the crunch and they are so filling, not too salty and as another reviewer stated..reminded me of the partially popped popcorn you find in the bottom of a microwave popcorn bag. (Love those!) But I've read several articles on the dangers of soy and after almost finishing this case I looked it up again and found another:

This isn't the only article I've read on this, you can google it yourself. Beware eating too much of this stuff. That is all. :)

These remind me a lot of peanuts, but without the rich buttery feel peanuts have. The are lightly salty and have a great, satisfying crunch. They do not taste anything like fresh edamame. If you don't have anything to mix up the taste in your mouth, these will become a kind of tasteless dry snack food pretty quickly. In small portions, however, these are great. Since I have so many bags of this thanks to Amazon bulk I am going to experiment with these. I think they will be fantastic in some trail mixes with raisins and a variety of nuts, as a nut replacement in homemade chex mix, and as a topping for yogurt.

So Trader Joe's carried dry-roasted edamame for a couple of months and then it suddenly disappeared. Believe it or not, I went without my favorite snack for almost 2 years; but now I have Seapoint Farms. Every bit as good as the T.J. brand and at a great price as well. I highly recommend this product even if you have never had dry-roasted edamame before.

I've been looking for a nice healthy snack to munch on at night that's better for me than some of the fruit snacks that I've been having previously. (Of course fresh fruit and veggies are best but you can't always keep those on hand, especially when you're at work.)

These are awesome. They're really nice and crunchy, plus they're relatively low in sodium compared to some of the stuff out there. I like that these have a lot of nutrients and protein in them since occasionally I'll get so busy that I won't get a chance to eat. (Especially during the school semester!)

The only thing I will say is that you will need to have some water with you when you eat these. Not soda, but water. Eating more than a handful will leave you incredibly thirsty!

I had bought a bag of these before as a different snack to eat while I studied.
They are certainly crunchy.
They are salted too.
I'm not sure they have as much taste as peanut, but I'm not sure how much flavor can be expected from dry roasted edamame.
That being said, they are definitely edible.
I liked how I got a whole case of them which helps out on the price of each bag.
They are also in re-sealable bags which is useful.
Crunchy, salted, and good for snacking.

I decided to give these a try since there was some discussion that these were healthier/less fattening than peanuts, which I LOVE, but I have weight issues and have to be careful with peanuts. I buy unsalted roasted peanuts from an online store in VA and their product is just awesome. I'm not opposed to salt, but I don't much care for a lot of it. You can tell these are salted, but mostly as an aftertaste - it's not an immediate SALT ASSAULT on your taste buds. Very crunchy, which I like (not as crunchy as unpopped popcorn as others have said, though, but WAY more crunchy than the grocery store national brand jar peanuts - which I used to like, but can no longer tolerate due to the much higher quality of online specialty nut vendors).

Not sure if I'll give up peanuts for good, but these are going to be a staple in my pantry now.

Makes a great snack. If you read the nutrition panel you'll be impressed. Nice to stow in a back pack or an office desk.
