If you’re only eating this bean as an appetizer when you get sushi, you’re missing out on its stellar nutrition profile. “Edamame is a type of green soybean that is a good source ofprotein and fiber, and is low in fat,” saysPallini Winnifred, R.D.N., of FitDominium.
Edamame provides 17 grams of protein per cup, making it a great option for those looking to increase their protein intake. “Edamame is also a good source of healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals,” she adds.
You can buy edamame pre-shelled in the refrigerator aisle, making it super convenient to toss into salads, pasta, and more.
