what is edamame?

Edamame is a young bean, also known as green soybean, harvested before it is ripened. These small green soybeans are naturally gluten-free, are low in calories, and they are a good source of protein, iron, calcium, antioxidants and especially dietary fiber. One cup of edamame has 8 grams of dietary fiber.
