Lil’ bun and I decided to make some delicious edamame hummus to go with our chips. Not only are they fun to shell and eat as a snack, they’re also a (neglected) superfood!
Edamame beans are packed full of phytoestrogens which lower the risk of estrogen related cancers. They’re also high in polyunsaturated fats which make them heart friendly. Anddd….wait for it…a cup of beans have the ability to fulfill 30% of your daily intake of protein, fiber, iron, manganese, phosphorus, folate, vitamin K, magnesium, and thiamin! Isn’t that amazing?
Simple. Clean. Ingredients.
2 cups edamame beans (shelled and cooked)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoon oil (use sesame oil for a more hummus/tahini flavor)
salt, pepper, chili flakes, seasonings to taste
Method
Blend all the ingredients in a food processor or blender until it reaches your desired hummus consistency. Eat with chips or veggies (:
