FAQ
Edamame is typically eaten as an appetizer or crunchy snack, but it also makes for a protein-rich noodle that can pair well with many flavors. This soybean contains vitamin K, which can reduce the risk of heart disease and improve your blood lipid profile.
Edamame pasta also wins the fibre and carbohydrates (carbs) department, with 6 times higher in fibre content with only half the amount of carbs per serve compared to regular pasta. Carbs are broken down quickly into glucose (sugar) in the bloodstream, which results in a sharp rise in blood sugar.
Edamame spaghetti is made entirely out of edamame bean flour, making it a vegan and gluten-free product. Each serving of edamame spaghetti contains 180 calories and 20 grams of carbohydrates.
Not surprisingly, the edamame-based pasta possesses a nutty flavor, like good quality whole wheat noodles, but has more texture which allows sauces to cling to it like a dream. I find that they're especially delicious tossed with pesto.
While fats can be part of a healthy diet, too much fat in your diet is linked to health conditions like type 2 diabetes and obesity. Limit your risk by sticking to one ½ cup serving of edamame per day.
