Nutritional Value
Edamame is a great plant-based source of protein. There are 13.8 grams of protein per 100 grams, which is equivalent to the protein of about two medium-sized eggs. If a cancer patient does not want to eat meat or eggs, edamame is another choice. Edamame also contains a lot of dietary fiber (8.7 grams), which helps intestinal peristalsis. Furthermore, edamame contains much vitamin C and vitamin B, which can help the body's hematopoietic ability.
Edamame can be stir-fried with other food, such as scrambled eggs with edamame and edamame shrimp stir-fry. Boiled edamame with an appropriate amount of flavored salt is also a delicious snack.
Edamame is a legume and can cause gas. Overconsumption of edamame will cause bloating and indigestion, especially those with irritable gut disorders.
