Frozen edamame in supermarkets?

Efcliz · **Posted:** Tue Sep 25, 2012 2:24 am

I haven't bought these for ages, but used to be able to get them easily, I think. My usual shop is Sainsbury's and they've disappeared from there. Anyone seen them
anywhere else recently for me to check?

I live in Ireland so I have never seen them anywhere.

I know that they used to have them in Tesco, and they have them on their website for online shopping.

I haven't been able to find them recently either. They always used to have them in my Sainsburys too.

My local Waitrose has them, but supply seems a little erratic.

The only place I've seen them is Oriental Mart.

I heard there was a harvest failure leading to a shortage?? Anyway it must be OK now as I picked some up in Tesco yesterday.

I second (or is it third?) the sightings in Tesco. That seems to be the place to go.

Hello Samphire!

I noticed that was your 1st post. So just wanted to welcome you to the board.

It's on the Sainsbury's website, so I'm assuming they also have it in store (but probably only the larger ones).

Damn, my Sainsbury's is enormous but they don't have it. Looks like I'll have make the trek to Tesco.

I found a stir fry veg packet with them in, but no frozen ones today. Gah.

My Sainsbury's used to sell the Birdseye frozen edamamme but have stopped; thankfully our Tesco extra still sells their own brand edamamme labelled as 'soya beans'. Try chinese shops too, my local ones sells them there still in their pods but frozen.

I've been keeping an eye out but not finding any for a while. Bah!

Recently discovered Boots do little pots of edamame for £1....as part of their meal deal....if you're desperate for some :)

Waitrose sell them too in the sandwich section.

My local tesco had them the other day.

I got them in the other smaller Sainsbury's! Now why did I want them? :)

haha, I always wonder this when I buy them. I like the edamame/corn salad recipe in VCON, that's generally what I end up doing with them.
