What kind of food is this?
Immature soybeans, boiled. Per 100g they have 11.5g of protein and 6.1g of fat—the highest of any vegetable in our tables for both.
Phosphorus is 170mg and magnesium 72mg, also the highest among the vegetables listed; the nutritional makeup is quite different from leafy greens or root vegetables.
Magnesium is a mineral involved in many enzyme reactions, from energy metabolism to muscle and nerve function. Edamame works less like a vegetable side and more like a way to add bean-based protein, fat, and minerals in one go.
How to serve
Remove the pods and use only the boiled beans.

In food-energetics terms
In food-energetics terms it is classified as "neutral"—neither warming nor cooling the body.
(Food energetics is a long-standing idea of supporting the body through everyday meals. Treat it as one extra hint alongside the nutrition numbers.)
