beans in your diet
hi, i’m rosemary rodibaugh, nutrition professor with the university of arkansas systems division of agriculture. many health experts consider edamame a super vegetable. not only does it contain the vitamins, minerals
beans in your diet, and fiber that other vegetables do, but it’salso a great source of protein, making it comparableto meat. edamame has a sweet, nutty flavor and a crisp texture. the beans are harvested when
they are green when the flavor is at its best. edamame is low in calories, high in fiber, with just a trace of healthy fats. there are different ways to prepare edamame, but it must be cooked before eating. to prepare the beans, boil them for 5 to 10 minutes in the pods, then remove them from the shell before serving. the beans can also be blanched and frozen
or dried for later use. eat edamame like you would other beans in your diet, as an appetizer, snack, in soups, stews or salads and dips. edamame is grown in arkansas, so it fits right in to a locavore’s diet. look for edamame in the produce or frozen food section of your local grocerystore. your arkansas soybean podcast is
