Frozen Soya Beans!!

[Poison Ivy]

I've just seen an advert for frozen soya beans by Birds Eye

http://www.birdseye.co.uk/ourfood/so...ya-beans2.aspx

when the shops round here start stocking them I will have to give them a go as I've never seen soya beans on sale anywhere before

Ooo, sounds interesting. They look nicer than the dried ones you find in wholefood stores.
They have soyabeans growing at the Eden Project. This photo was taken last summer.

I've had these- very good The Sainsbury's near me stocks them.

Have you tried Holland and Barretts? I'm pretty sure they had them.

RealEat do frozen soya beans which i think some Holland & Barrett stores sell as Kiran says, and i would imagine they're a lot more ethical than Birds Eye.

No, it's about a 28 mile round journey to my nearest H & B's so I haven't been for years and tend to make do with what I can get locally....I had a sneaking suspicion they'd already be available somewhere ....and whilst Birds Eye might not be the most ethical of companies (and then some ) at least they stand more chance of coming up for sale in my local supermarkets

I think I had some birdseye ones recently, they were very... soybeany.

a lot of supermarkets sell RealEat VegeMince, so maybe the soya beans will find their way into some supermarkets too...

i like them with melted margarine and a little bit of salt

[inkedmiss]

Ive seen the frozen beans in ASDA and Tesco in the frozen veg dept so have look in stores local to you

I still havent tried any as Im not a great fan of green beans. Can anyone recommend a nice recipe for them? Are they good in curry or anything like that?

Presumably these are the same as the Realeat edamame...

They will go in anything that you might put other types of beans or peas in. They're a bit firmer than tinned beans, so they wouldn't go so well in a sloppy dish. But if the rest of the veggies are a bit crunchy, they should work fine.

I put them in a shepherds pie the other day and they were quite nice.
