To think I’m going to die after eating lightly cooked edamame?

[BigBlueBubble]

I lightly stir fried some edamame and ate them crunchy. Put the packet in the bin while tidying up and it says Caution:Do not eat raw. A quick check on Google reveals that raw edamame are poisonous. I now feel sick but it might be psychological. Am I going to die?

Oh fucking hell, I've been putting these over our salads for months

I used to eat raw potato, every time my mum cut up the potatoes for dinner I'd get a bit.

I think regular garden peas are fine to eat straight out the shell. I thought edamame was some sort of mushroom!

People eat raw potatoes?!

Oh l had no idea l eat them raw too

Didn't some people die from eating uncooked frozen sweetcorn? Listeria or something? Maybe it's because of that.

Raw. Potato.

Why??

We used to eat raw potatoes as kids, when chopping them for egg & chips, burger & chips, fishfinger & chips, saveloy and chips, spam & chips, sometimes we had chip buttys & frozen croquettes.

Then things moved on to microwave chips.

Me too History

I’ve just looked at the shelled ones online and although it gives instructions for microwave defrosting I can’t see anything that says you must.

They are really convenient to add to a salad in the morning and perfect by lunch...

I thought edamame was cheese at first glance

You can buy salad with edamames.

How are you feeling now OP? I think if you aren’t sick yet you will probably be ok! Hope you haven’t had a terrible night...

Btw if you buy edamame in those little tubs they aren’t raw and you can eat them from the packet. It’s only the bags of frozen ones that are uncooked (but obviously always read the packaging carefully etc)

Whilst on bellyache, has anyone had a bad experience with quinoa? Last time I ate it I thought I had salmonella. Yes I did soak it and cooked it properly but ugh. Never again.

How many did you eat? You might be fine if just a few, my friend was. If you develop D&V watch out for signs of jaundice. Hope you're ok!

How are you, OP?

Omg. The curse of edamame...

longwayoff quinoa makes me sick too! No known food intolerances but it does not agree with me! I can eat a small quantity out of politeness if served but would never again choose it.

In the old days, when the only red kidney beans you could get were dried, you had to cook them at a rolling boil for some time to get rid of something that could make you ill. I discovered this the hard way after gently simmering them, and then spending the night on the loo with a bowl on my knees. Raw runner beans can do the same, apparently
Fortunately I don't like edamame , so I won't have a problem with them.

Ha I knew these healthy things were bad for you! I've played it safe with a ready meal and a can of diet coke.

I defrost Tesco edamame beans every single night for the nextday’s salad and never cook them. Should I be worried ?
I feel fine !

Omg is the op okay...?
Very very quiet from them

What happened OP, are you ok??

Hoping OP is sleeping and not talking on the great white telephone!

@longwayoff

I get sick from quinoa too! How odd!

Sorry I don’t know how to tag people

Hi dark and yolandi, can't help with tagging, no idea how to do it either. But quinoa. Its obviously got something reactive in it then as I dont have any other intolerances. I felt so ill, for about 18 hours, that I've avoided it ever since. It's everywhere annoyingly. Still, a minor irritant overall. Happy eating
