Toss the cooked edamame with 1/2 teaspoon of Japanese seven-spice blend (shichimi togarashi) or red pepper flakes along with the salt.
In a small pan, sauté 2 minced garlic cloves in 1 teaspoon of sesame oil until fragrant. Toss the hot, drained edamame in the garlic oil and season with salt and a splash of soy sauce.
After tossing with salt, sprinkle the zest of one lemon or lime over the edamame for a bright, fresh flavor.
Edamame is a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids, making it a fantastic choice for vegetarians, vegans, and anyone looking to boost their protein intake.
Rich in fiber, edamame supports healthy digestion, promotes a feeling of fullness to aid in weight management, and helps stabilize blood sugar levels.
Studies suggest that the soy protein and fiber in edamame can help lower LDL ('bad') cholesterol levels, contributing to better cardiovascular health.
Edamame is packed with essential nutrients, including folate, vitamin K (crucial for blood clotting and bone health), iron, and manganese.
Yes, edamame is very healthy. It's an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, vitamins like K and folate, and essential minerals. It's also naturally low in calories and gluten-free.
A typical 1-cup serving of edamame in their pods (about 114g) contains approximately 120-140 calories, making it a nutritious, low-calorie snack.
No, the pod is not meant to be eaten. It is very tough and fibrous. You should squeeze the beans out of the pod into your mouth and discard the pod.
Absolutely. If you can find fresh edamame, the cooking process is the same. You may need to add 1-2 minutes to the boiling time. Cook until tender-crisp.
Store any leftover edamame in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can be enjoyed cold or quickly reheated in the microwave.
A coarse or flaky salt is highly recommended. Coarse sea salt, kosher salt, or specialty salts like Maldon sea salt flakes provide a better texture and flavor than fine table salt.
