Edamame packs a powerful punch when it comes to nutritional content. It is high in phytoestrogens, a natural plant estrogen. A 100 gram serving (1/3 ounce or about 35 pods) of the beans only, not the pods, has 125 calories pack with 12 grams of protein, 13 grams of carbohydrates, and only 3.5 grams of fat. It is rich in calcium, and phosphorus and is a good source of vitamin A. You can also purchase from your grocery store lightly salted dry roasted edamame soybeans that are gluten free, cholesterol free and MSG free. They also are packed with Vitamin C, Calcium and Iron. A 1/4 cup serving (or 30g) serving contains 130 calories, 4 grams of fat, no saturated or trans fats, 230 mg of sodium (they are salted), 9 grams of Carbohydrates, 7 grams of dietary fiber and 13 grams of protein. So, they are high in protein and low in Net Carbs (which are your total carbs minus your dietary fiber=2grams net carbs), so they make a great snack fo people watching their carb intake and they appeal to those looking for a high protein snack. Hope this helped people looking for a yummy snack that's very healthy for you too!

Yes they are nutritionally healthy. Go to the Food Standards Agency Website

As the rhyme goes:

Beans Beans good for the heart,

the more you eat the more you fart,

the more you fart the better you feel,

so eat you're beans with every meal.

They are not the same thing. It depends on the recipe, whether or not you can use edamame (soy beans) for (mung) beansprouts. For a salad or something similar it won't make much difference, as they both add texture without much flavor. For eggrolls or chow mein though the difference would be too much. Shredded Bok choy ("chinese" cabbage) would probably be a more palatable substitution. The ultimate choice is yours though, if it works go with it.

No, edamame causes dogs to be bloated and gassy. The soy beans can cause your dog to be gassy (though not all dogs have this problem).
