Edamame is nearly the complete opposite of an empty calorie or a food/liquid with no nutritional value. This nutritional powerhouse is full of protein (muscle building amino acids) and fiber with a low net carbohydrate count while fewer than 100 total calories!
An edamame is a soy bean. You can find them on the menu at most Japanese restaurants or now even in the organic frozen food section of grocery stores. Typically the soy beans come in a pod in which you have to pop them out to eat but some frozen food sections offer them out of the pod as well.
The following are some ways I eat edamame,
• As a snack with a sprinkle of sea salt
• Mixed in with my salads
• Sautéed with other beans and vegetables as a side dish
Edamame also makes a great night time snack.
