Organic Edamame (nonGMO soybeans) are a great snack full of nutrition. The key is that that must be organic or nonGMO to be healthy or safe.  A 2/3 cup serving contains 120 calories, 4 gram of fiber, 10 grams of protein, 10% calcium, 10% iron and 20% Vitamin C! We purchase the frozen version which is most readily available and prepare as stated below. These make a great snack or lunch entree!

Cook edamame in 4 cups of purified boiling water on medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Drain and season with pink Himalayan/Celtic Salt or with the Soy Dipping Sauce below.  To eat, split the pod with your fingers to remove the beans. Discard the pods.

Soy Dipping Sauce

1/4 c orange juice or 1/2 fresh squeezed orange

2 T Bragg’s Liquid Aminos (healthy soy alternative)

1 tsp sesame oil

Dash of cayenne pepper

Place all ingredient in a small bowl and drizzle over edamame.
