Trying new things: Edamame

Lately I have been trying to give Reese some different, healthier snacks. So...last week we tried veggies with humus. She liked dipping it but not so much eating it. Last night we tried Edamame. I had a bag of Steamfresh Edamame in the freezer and it only takes 5 minutes to steam them in the microwave so I figured it was worth a shot!
It took her a while to figure out you ate the pea inside not the whole shell but once she got the hang of it she really enjoyed them! I think she actually enjoyed eating a big person food on her own and throwing the shell in the bowl.
She even decided to share with Percy the Pig!
Fun edamame fact - Edamame means "twig bean" in Japanese and helps with free radicals! Try it for your next snack or easy app. :)
