Seapoint Farms Dry Roasted Edamame
By: | Nov 16, 2007
Seapoint Farms says that their Dry Roasted Edamame is a great source of soy protein (14 grams per serving) containing all 8 essential amino acids, 2 net carbs and adds no cholesterol or trans fats to your diet. These are one of my favorite healthy snacks. It has a sort of unusual taste, lightly salted with a slightly nutty, roasted soy flavor. Edamame as a snack seems to be an acquired taste - some people like it, some don't, but with the nutrition facts - high fiber, protein and low fat - it's definitely worth trying.
One serving of Seapoint Farms Dry Roasted Edamame is 1/4 cup (30 grams) and has 130 calories, 4 grams of fat (6% of the RDA), 0.5 grams of saturated fat, 150 milligrams of sodium (6% of the RDA), 14 grams of protein and 10 grams of total carbohydrates which includes 1 gram of sugar and 34% of the RDA for fiber (8 grams). There is also 10% of the iron daily value.
One bag which has about 4 servings, costs $1.99 when purchased from Busch's Supermarket, but it's also available online from SnackAisle.com. In addition to the Lightly Salted variety, Seapoint Farms also makes a Wasabi version and a Gogi-Edamame blend.
Check out the Trader Joe's Dry Roasted Edamame review which also has a comparison of the nutrition facts with peanuts.

I love this stuff! Great protein source for vegetarians. It's available at World Market as well.
I got these at the $.99 store (in texas) and they were pretty good! You DO have to have an acquired taste to like them but they are a great way to kill a snack attack!
Have these been processed to remove the trypsin inhibitors that make soy bad for you?
Are these different from roasted "soy nuts"?
These are a bit different than rosted soynuts - they're a bit less nutty and more tender.
Costco carries a huge jug of these for about $7, and I absolutely love them as a snack.
This particular product says it's from China. Are there any of these products grown in the US?
