Edamame Hummus

edamame hummus

By

As a vegetarian, I am always looking for creative proteins and edamame beans, aka soybeans fit the bill. While soy doesn’t work for everyone, my body seems to like it and doesn’t suffer any adverse affects. I originally created this recipe with an asian flair with ginger, and a little sesame oil, but I wanted something more neutral for everyday and this was it!

Further Food Commentary:

Edamame are immature soybeans that are picked when green. These bright green beans are good sources of monounsaturated fat, as well as fiber & protein. Research has shown that consuming monounsaturated fats can improve your cholesterol levels, and thus lower your risk of cardiovascular disease. Good sources of monounsaturated fats include avocado, nuts, & olive oil. Edamame can serve as a good protein source for individuals looking for protein outside of typical sources like meat or dairy. Elizabeth is correct in saying that most soy is genetically modified. If you are trying to avoid GMOs, choose foods labeled as "100% organic" or look for the voluntary label "Non GMO Project Verified." There is no official labeling for GMO ingredients at this time.
