Cooked edamame, a popular snack and side dish in Asian cuisine, particularly Japanese, is made from young, green soybeans boiled or steamed in their pods. Rich in protein, fiber, and several essential nutrients such as folate, vitamin K, and manganese, edamame is prized for its health benefits. Its plant-based protein makes it a favorite among vegetarians and vegans, while its low-calorie, heart-healthy fat profile supports weight management and cardiovascular health. Additionally, edamame contains antioxidants that can reduce inflammation and promote overall well-being. However, like many soy-based foods, it may not be suitable for people with soy allergies or certain sensitivities. Often lightly salted, those watching their sodium intake should enjoy it in moderation. Simple yet nutrient-dense, cooked edamame is an excellent addition to a balanced diet.
