Edamame

Edamame is definitely a snack that we can’t live without! It has tons of nutrients and is low in not only saturated fats but also cholesterol. This small green superfood is loaded with plant protein and a type of fiber called phytosterols which helps lower cholesterol. If that wasn’t enough reason to eat more of the soy protein, it also has been known to help combat heart disease. This is a perfect starter for any Asian meal!

When you think about collard greens, do vegetables like kale, bok choy, brussels sprouts, rutabaga, cabbage, turnips, and broccoli come to mind? They’re actually all in the same family! Collard greens are high in zeaxanthin, lutein, and Vitamin A, while also having a very low-calorie density. This combination of vitamins and nutrients helps protect the body against diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. If you are familiar with Soul Food, then collard greens are a firm favorite.
