Nutritional Information Since edamame contains so many necessary minerals and nutrients, and is a complete protein, the FDA supports its health benefits. It may even help provide relief from hot flashes and night sweats in women experiencing perimenopause. As with anything in life though, moderation is the key, especially if one is prone to the effects that the fiber in legumes can produce. |

History Edamame has its roots in China, dating back to more than 2200 years ago. It was later introduced to Japan, where it has been popular ever since. The word edamame means "beans on a branch". Unlike most soybeans grown for livestock feed or soil-replenishers, edamame varieties are developed for their larger size and sweet flavor and are harvested when they are green and plump. In 1902, it was brought to the United States, but didn't catch on as a snack food until the 1970s and the growth of the organic food movement. Today, edamame continues to expand in the health food snack industry as consumers become more interested in healthy food options. One of the goals of Sun Sugar Farms is to introduce edamame into schools as part of a nutritional yet delicious lunch. |
