One serving of this salad is a source of fibre, has 6 grams of protein and you get 10% of your recommended daily intake of iron! What’s the secret of this nutrition boost? A little serving of Edamame! Edamame is a green soybean that is harvested when soybeans are still young. It is packed with fiber, protein and has a bit of iron too.  You can find Edamame beans in the frozen food section of your grocery store.
