			Ok, at least I don't feel so silly now.  And Diana/Janet you should know because Diana, you may grow them or Janet, I think I remember you mentioning they are grown near you. 
 
Soybeans!  And the beans are delicious to eat, who knew???  My daughter ordered them one day for my granddaughter at a restaurant and they looked like green lima beans, only a little fatter. She seemed to love them.  I tasted them and they were OK.  Anyway, I got some yesterday and steamed them and then just put a little salt on them and they were delicious!   
 
They also come in pods like snow peas, but as I understand it, you dont' eat the pods, you open them and scoop out the beans - so why would you want to do that, when they come already shelled. 
 
They are 100 calories for 1/2 cup and little fat.  Pretty good side dish.  I've seen them in salads, but didn't know what  they were. I'm going to try to eat more of them!!!  Now I need to hunt for recipes.
