The colleague gave a handful of edamame, because it was raining heavily in the morning and the edamame was covered with sand. The beans are not very full, so they are used to make salted edamame.
Edamame is still a commendable green and safe food. Originally, there are fewer pests and diseases of bean crops. In addition, the edamame is covered with a layer of furry "armor", which can effectively resist pests and diseases. Therefore, the production process of edamame does not use or rarely uses pesticides. "

Tips:
Edamame is good but you can't eat more

Eat edamame in a few ways: Although edamame is rich in nutrients, it should not be eaten open. Edamame is one of the protagonists in the midnight snack of food stalls. A plate of edamame, a few skewers, and a glass of draft beer are the classic midnight snack modes for many people. And many people think that kebabs are animal food, and edamame is plant food. The former is high in calories, and the latter is just to neutralize. The two are eaten together with meat and vegetables, which is healthy and delicious.

In people's impression, animal foods are high-energy foods, while plant-based vegetables do not have high calories. This is true, but edamame is an exception. Edamame is a high-energy vegetable, and its energy content per 100g of edamame is 123.0 kcal, which is much higher than other fresh legume vegetables (such as snow peas 27 kcal, long beans 32 kcal, green beans 28 kcal, cowpea 29 kcal) And other kinds of vegetables. In addition, the fat content in edamame is also relatively high, 5.0 grams per 100 grams, and most of the fat content of various vegetables we usually eat are in a few tenths.

This shows that the combination of meat edamame is not good. When eating, one of the two should be used, or the amount of both should be reduced together with other types of vegetables. In short, although edamame is a vegetable, it cannot be eaten openly.
