what would you do with soybeans?

   i have some that i planted as a
cover crop and now they are ready
to harvest.  amazing what a single
plant can produce.

  what would you do with them?

  tonight i roasted some of them
and they tasted kinda like popcorn.
i was hoping they'd taste like the
soy nuts we used to buy as a snack.
not quite.  perhaps i need to go
for a lower temperature and a longer
roast.

Hmmm...
Try searching YouTube.com for "good eats alton brown et tu mame"
Their are two episodes part 1&2, on how to prepare soybeans for eating.
Hope it helps. Good Eats tv show is a favorite show of mine.

  i wish i had a better connection, but i'm stuck on dialup
at the moment.  so youtube searching is not too likely to
help me.  however, i think you are talking about the green
kind of soybeans, and i'm talking about the dried kind
that you get at the end of the season.

  thank you for your reply.  :)  how's the cow coming
along?

The show Good Eats is on the food network, that is if you  got disk or
cable?
 

Bessy is doing just fine. Pregnant and should produce milk around May
and beef two years later.

Pick the pods while the beans are still young and tender.
Drop the whole pods in boiling water and boil until the pods
start to split and the beans have the texture of cooked peas.

Chill the pods by running under cold water, pat them dry and
lightly salt.  

You eat them by bringing the pods up to your mouth and
squeezing out the beans.  (Discard the pods.)

Probably best with a variety meant for fresh eating, and
one fantastic snack.  Fun to eat and no tedious shelling.

Edamame.  Yummm.
