These protein-packed pods were once a rare treat found only in Japanese restaurants. But now they’re staples in the frozen-foods aisle, serving as a healthy snack or delicious side. It’s hard to beat the nutrition of whole soybeans. They’re 60% richer in calcium than peas, a source of cancer-fighting isoflavones and vitamin E, and a great vegetable source of complete protein. For a snack, sprinkle steamed edamame pods with olive oil and sea salt; pop the beans out and discard the pods.
