About Edammame

Edamame, young soybeans harvested before they harden, are a popular snack and side dish, especially in East Asian cuisine, with origins tracing back to Japan and China. Typically steamed or boiled and served in their pods, edamame boasts an impressive nutritional profile. They are rich in plant-based protein, making them a favorite among vegetarians and vegans. Packed with fiber, they support digestive health and promote feelings of fullness. Edamame is also an excellent source of essential nutrients like folate, iron, magnesium, and vitamin K, while providing heart-friendly unsaturated fats. Additionally, they contain isoflavones, plant compounds that may contribute to hormonal balance and bone health. Although edamame is naturally low in calories and sodium, moderation is key if paired with extra salt or sauces. Their versatility and health benefits make edamame a wholesome addition to various diets.
