Edamame are soybeans... I don't think there's really a substitute.
Try the freezer section of your grocery store, they might have them there if they don't have them in the produce section. I used to live in the town right next to the middle of nowhere, and we had edamame at Wal-Mart.
You might also want to try health food stores or Asian markets.

Edamame are soy beans. They really are unique in the bean family. They contain a lot of protein and a little fat.
It's very common for grocery stores to carry them in the frozen veggie section. Look for bags that say either Edamame or soy beans. You can find them still in the pods, or out of the pods (You don't eat the pods, but it's fun to eat edamame served in the pod as finger food).

The word Edamame means "Beans on Branches," Edamame is a green vegetable more commonly known as a soybean, fava beans r the best alternate for them.

Take a look at Trader Joe's or in your frozen food section. They sell frozen edamame, shelled and unshelled. Its a great source of soy protein.

I used to drink soy milk pretty much daily. I've since switched to rice and almond because of taste, but I never noticed any health effects from it. I eat soy products (mostly tofu) 2-4 times a week and I'm fine.

Trader Joes
Better grocery stores
If you were in Calif. you would also find them at Monterey Market , Food Bowl in Berkeley, as well as Lunardi's in Walnut Creek. Do you have Asian grocery stores where you live?

try green peas- though not as much protein. Try to find soy beans or a local sushi restaurant that may supply it for you.

Any asian food store usually carries it in their frozen section. I recommend steaming rather than boiling, and don't forget to sprinkle with kosher salt ...mmmm!
