Avocado Edamame Dip Makes A Healthy Snack

edamame beans

Edamame beans are whole, immature soybeans. At restaurants they are often served inside the pods and then you peel them and eat the beans. However, at the grocery store I get just the fresh beans in sealed packages in the produce department.

Benefits of Soybeans:

Like other legumes, soybeans are rich in nutrients. However, the macronutrient profile of soybeans differs in some important ways from most other legumes. Soybeans are higher in both protein and fat than other beans and are relatively low in carbohydrates…Like many whole plant foods, soyfoods are also rich in B-vitamins, particularly niacin, pyridoxine and folacin.

Baked Avocados and Eggs

Benefits of Avocado:

Avocado’s anti-inflammatory nutrients fall into five basic categories.  The ability of avocado to help prevent unwanted inflammation is absolutely unquestionable in the world of health research.
