No Beans About It!

Your New Year’s resolution to eat healthier or lose weight doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice flavorful foods. The Balancing Act is going to educate our viewers about a versatile food that's good for you and tastes great!

Edamame is a superfood that is becoming more and more popular in the U.S. due to the fact that it has a wonderful flavor and is packed with nutrition. The word “edamame” comes from a Japanese phrase which translates to “beans from the branch” and many Americans have been introduced to edamame at Japanese restaurants. Thanks to special guest Peggy Chung Collier, a special guest from JYC International, viewers will learn about the many ways in which edamame can be prepared and incorporated into a healthy diet.

For the uninitiated, Collier starts with the basics: edamame are young soy beans in pods and have been native to the populations in China, Japan and Korea for more than 2000 years. Naturally high in fiber and protein, they also contain amino acids and isoflavins which act as anti-oxidants. That’s all good news, but the best part of the story is that they taste great as a snack or incorporated in a meal. Collier also advises that viewers choose the best quality edamame and her recommendation is Peggy’s Premium™ which is available at wholesale clubs and in the frozen food section of traditional grocery stores.

For ideas on how to have edamame at home, The Balancing Act has some recommendations:
