The Secret of Edamame Soy snack is a yummy - and healthy - handful By Elaine Magee, MPH, RD FROM THE WEBMD ARCHIVES... What's so secret about edamame? Well, the name for starters. The first few times I heard it, I had to ask, "eda-whaty?" As it turns out, it's just a fancy name for boiled green soybeans -- and the real secret is that they are much yummier than they sound. I knew edamame had "arrived" when I saw Faith Hill snacking on them during a backstage-type interview for Country Music Television. They're the snack my favorite Japanese restaurant brings you when you sit down to a table, and they're the after-school snack my daughter asks for by name. Say what you will about the debate over the health benefits of soy: any way you slice it, the edamame is a star legume! Just 1/2 cup of them a day really punches up the fiber, protein and vitamin/mineral content of your diet. Here's what you'll find in a half-cup serving of shelled edamame (or 1 1/8 cup edamame in the pods): 120 calories 9 grams fiber 2.5 grams fat 1.5 grams polyunsaturated fat (0.3 grams plant omega-3 fatty acids) 0.5 gram monounsaturated fat 11 grams protein 13 grams carbohydrate 15 mg sodium 10% of the Daily Value for vitamin C 10% Daily Value for iron 8% Daily Value for vitamin A 4% Daily Value for calcium As you can see, that little serving of edamame gives you a bunch of fiber: 9 grams, about the same amount you'll find in 4 slices of whole-wheat bread or 4 cups of steamed zucchini. It has almost as much protein as it does carbohydrate. It contains around 10% of the Daily Value for two key antioxidants; vitamins C and A. And for a plant food, it's quite high in iron; it has about as much as a 4-ounce roasted chicken breast. Full link: https://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/edamame-secret
