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.

Some of the health benefits are:

  1. Edamame contains calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin E, and other nutrients that are required for maintaining healthy bones.
  2. With its nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants it helps in strengthening the immune system
  3. It contains genistein and thus may help in enhancing lung function in those suffering from chronic respiratory issues.
  4. 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.
  5. The health benefits of edamame include a healthy digestive system. It is a good source of fiber that facilitates digestion.
  6. 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

Shrimp

Shrimps is very nutritious.

They are fairly low in calories, and they don’t contain any carbohydrates. One serving size provides more than 20 different minerals and vitamins.

Shrimp is one of the best food sources of iodine (a mineral that is required for proper thyroid function and brain health), and it contains an antioxidant called astaxanthin which is good for brain and heart health.

In one (85-gram) serving of shrimp:

  • Calories: 76
  • Fat: 1g
  • Sodium: 292mg
  • Carbohydrates: 1g
  • Fiber: 0g
  • Sugars: 0g
  • Protein: 15g

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.
