Did you know?

Edamame are young, green soybeans harvested before they fully mature, making them more tender than regular soybeans.
They’ve been a staple in Asian cuisines for centuries and are often served as an appetizer or side dish in Japan and China.
Edamame is a complete source of plant-based protein, meaning it contains all the essential amino acids your body needs.
In addition to their protein content, edamame is rich in fiber, which can help support digestion and heart health.
Edamame is also known to be a good source of iron, which is especially important for vegetarians and vegans.

Drawback

Edamame can be relatively high in fat for a plant-based snack, which may not be ideal for those on low-fat diets.
It may cause digestive discomfort in some individuals, especially if eaten in large amounts, due to its fiber content.
Some people may have soy allergies, which would prevent them from consuming edamame.
