Edamame

Edamame are immature soybeans harvested in their pods and commonly served steamed or boiled and lightly salted; the beans are eaten by popping them out of the pod as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. Someone might track edamame to log intake of calories, protein, carbohydrates, fiber and sodium, to record a plant-based protein source, or to monitor portion sizes and ingredients for dietary preferences or allergies.
