Edamame... a super legume food

Edamame is a good source of plant-based protein, fiber and antioxidants. This legume is good for controlling risk levels of cardiovascular diseases, lowering blood cholesterol levels and inhibiting cancer development.
Just boil it and sprinkle it with lemon and sea salt. It could also be used as a replacement for chickpeas in the traditional dish called hummus. Half a cup of edamame can provide the consumer about 9 g of fiber, 11 g of protein, 120 calories and some quantity of antioxidants.
