RM0.00Price
Edamame, that mildly sweet and oh-so pop-able snack also known as soybeans is a protein-packed powerhouse. And although you may most frequently see it tableside at your local Japanese restaurant.
In addition to being a decent source of soy protein, edamame is rich in healthy fiber, antioxidants and vitamin K. These plant compounds may reduce the risk of heart disease and improve the blood lipid profile, a measure of fats including cholesterol and triglycerides.
Studies indicate that soy foods, such as edamame, don't just benefit women. They might also protect against cancer in men. Several observational studies show that soy products are associated with an approximately 30% lower risk of prostate cancer.
