Looking for a healthy snack?

Reach for a handful or two of edamame!

You've probably seen it at your favorite sushi or Asian restaurant...

By definition, according to Mr. Food, Edamame mean “beans on branches,” and edamame are found both fresh and frozen at our supermarkets.

"For years, we’ve enjoyed wok cooking and becoming sushi aficionados, mastering our chopsticks and learning to love the exotic flavors and textures of many Asian cultures," says Mr Food on his website.

"And for a while now, an Asian soybean, known as edamame, has gotten a lot of tasty attention because, once we try its sweet, nutty taste, we can’t seem to get enough of it!"

For more information on Edamame, where it grows and some of the health benefits, visit the Mr. Food website.
