Edamame, young soybeans harvested before they harden, are a popular snack and side dish in East Asian cuisine, particularly in Japan and China. These vibrant green beans are typically served steamed or boiled, often with a sprinkling of salt, making them both delicious and nutritious. Rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins such as folate and vitamin K, edamame supports healthy digestion, muscle repair, and bone health. They're also an excellent source of antioxidants and heart-friendly omega-3 fatty acids. While naturally low in calories, sodium content can increase depending on preparation, so moderation is key if salted heavily. As a versatile ingredient in soups, salads, and stir-fries, edamame provides a satisfying, nutrient-dense option suitable for vegetarian, vegan, and high-protein diets.
