Unless you have a soy allergy, edamame is likely safe to eat. Some people experience mild side effects, such as diarrhea, constipation, and stomach cramps. (7) This is most likely to occur if you're not used to eating fiber-rich foods on a regular basis.
Is edamame good for weight loss?
Edamame is rich in the antioxidant kaempferol, which has been shown to cause weight loss and lower blood sugar in animal studies ( 55 , 56 ). It is also high in folate and several minerals, including iron, magnesium, and manganese. One cup (155 grams) of edamame has around 17 grams of protein and 180 calories.
