Edamame
Edamame spaghetti is made from edamame bean flour.
Edamame is a young soybean. They are naturally gluten-free and low in calories, free of cholesterol, and they are an excellent source of complete protein, iron, and calcium.
| Nutrients | Amount in a 155-gram cup of shelled edamame beans | Recommended daily intake (adult) |
| Energy (calories) | 188 | 2,000–3,000 |
| Protein (g) | 18.5 | 46–56 |
| Carbohydrate (g) | 13.8 of which 3.3 is sugar | 130 |
| Fiber (g) | 8.1 | 28–33.6 |
| Iron (mg) | 3.5 | 8–18 |
| Calcium (mg) | 97.6 | 1,000 |
| Magnesium (mg) | 99.2 | 310–400 |
| Phosphorus (mg) | 262 | 700 |
| Potassium (mg) | 676 | 4,700 |
| Zinc (mg) | 2.1 | 8–11 |
| Selenium (mcg) | 1.2 | 55 |
| Selenium (mcg) | 9.5 | 75–90 |
| Folate (mcg) | 482 | 400 |
Some of the health benefits are:
- Edamame contains calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin E, and other nutrients that are required for maintaining healthy bones.
- With its nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants it helps in strengthening the immune system
- It contains genistein and thus may help in enhancing lung function in those suffering from chronic respiratory issues.
- Consumption of edamame may also be beneficial in managing weight. These beans have a high protein content and fewer calories, which makes them an ideal snack for weight-conscious people.
- The health benefits of edamame include a healthy digestive system. It is a good source of fiber that facilitates digestion.
- Soy foods like edamame may be beneficial in reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases as they may improve the control of insulin and blood glucose levels.
Notes:
-In the US, most edamame is sold frozen. You can easily heat the beans by boiling, pan-frying, or microwaving them for a few minutes.
-Try to find organically grown edamame, since soybean production is mostly GMO

Notes
-Shrimp are high in cholesterol, which can increase the cholesterol in the blood for some people (research shows that only a quarter of the population is sensitive to dietary cholesterol), so try not to eat it too often. A balanced diet is always the best option.
-Try to find wild or US-farmed shrimps, as some imported shrimp may contain antibiotics. When buying shrimp, consider its odor and color. It should be firm and have a mild ocean-like smell. Try to purchase it from a trusted supplier.
