Because I am a vegetarian, I am always in search of a non-animal protein source. That is when I reach for edamame as an awesome source of overall sound nutrition.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Rich in complete plant protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids, edamame is an ideal snack because of its nutrient density.
Just one‑cup (160 g) of the cooked young, green legume provides 224 calories, 18.5 grams of protein, 13.8 grams of carbohydrates, eight grams of fiber, 3.38 grams of sugar, and key nutrients including iron (3.52 mg), calcium (97.6 mg), magnesium (99.2 mg), potassium (675 mg), folate (458 mcg), and vitamin K (45 mcg).
Research shows that consuming soy protein, as in edamame, may help lower cholesterol and even reduce your risk of certain cancers, along with a high fiber, high antioxidant, low saturated fat diet, of course.
To eat edamame as a snack, boil or steam the pods for 3–5 minutes, sprinkle with sea or Himalaya pink salt, a little olive oil, then pop the beans out of the pod with your teeth—do not eat the pod. This classic method is widely used in Japanese cuisine and is the simplest way to enjoy edamame.
Additionally, I enjoy roasting them with a little olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. But you can purchase edamame is several varieties and flavors. Here are a few snack products that you can munch on, on the go, anytime, anywhere.
