Edamame Spaghetti - Anyone Tried It?

I purchased some organic edamame spaghetti from Costco last week. It was pretty inexpensive, and it seems to be a super nutritious food (the box says "ridiculously nutritious and delicious" - ha). But actually, it IS really tasty and nutritious!! 

One serving has 200 calories, 2 g fat, 11 g fiber (44%!), 24 g of protein (48%!), and 30% of Iron. This is just nuts to me, how nutritious it is.  There is only one ingredient - soybeans. It's also much lower in carbs than other gluten-free pastas - 21 g (7%) per serving. As I want to lose about 10 lbs, I'm looking for something nutritious with fewer carbs and lots of good stuff.

My question is, has anyone tried it, and if so, did you have any problems with it (excluding anyone with soy allergies - I don't have a problem with soy)? It's certified gluten-free - but before I go crazy eating it, I thought I'd check! Seems too good to be true.

We don't eat soy because of the way it is raised with ridiculous amounts of Rouond-up and it's virtually  ALL  GMO!  Soy messes with your hormones.  For men it can cause the breasts to enlarge.... for women, it can interfere with the natural hormones regulatory functions.  It has been altered so much, that it is no longer fit for human consumption!  Animals are fed a lot of it too... I try not to add any in as I'm getting it as a by-product of the meat I eat.

So, I'll address your question without resorting to scare tactics because I do use soy in my diet as I am dairy intolerant and I have yet to have my hormones do anything unusual except for the natural process of menopause!  Believe me, when menopause starts, you won't be obsessing about soy........:o

I would not hesitate to give that pasta a shot because, after all, soy is a really good source of protein and if you like the taste, why not include it in your diet?  I wouldn't go crazy eating it for the same reason you shouldn't do that with other foods but if you feel fine after eating it and like the taste, go for it!  It's always good to add variety to our diets.

I am going to look for it.  Is it dry or "fresh"?  Do you remember the name?

Thanks Gemini. I was trying to figure out a polite way to say that I did not intend to start a soy v. no soy debate. :)

I'm one of those who is intolerant to soy - sometimes. I had gotten it back for a while but since I got CC'd in June I am again off of corn and soy.

That being said, I had started eating some things that contain soy, although I didn't overdo it because of the GMO thing. It really is true that almost all soy is GMO nowadays.

BUT!!!!! The stuff you're talking about is ORGANIC. Therefore it is NOT soaked in Roundup. Go for it! And if you don't like it, see if you can find Ronzoni gluten-free. It is made of brown and white rices, quinoa, and corn - in a gluten-free facility in Italy (Where they don't do GMO's either.) And it's really really good. I have a cupboard full of it and as soon as I get corn back I'll be eating it often.

And if you DO like it, let us know. I'll look around and see if I can find some in my area.

To be clear, I HAVE tried it - and I really like it.  As long as you go into it knowing it won't taste like 'regular' pasta, it's a nice change up and a great source of protein. I had it with just some olive oil, olives, and S&P and it was great!

I was just wondering if anyone had any issues with it. I won't start eating it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. ;) I actually hadn't looked it up on amazon until Karen suggested it - and it looks like it is pretty popular. But if you can, buy it at Costco - definitely cheaper!

Thanks for the link.  I am always interested in protein sources because I weight train. 24 grams per serving is phenomenal.......you usually only find that with animal sources.......which I am not averse to eating either but need variety!  ;)

I have seen these.  Probably wouldn't go over as a pasta replacement at my house.  But I bet it would be good with a spicy veggie stir-fry.  Hub is always wanted those rice noodles instead of actual rice,  But they have no fiber, etc. 

 

have you tried the black bean noodles?  I got some but haven't been brave enough to try them yet.  I thought I might use them for a Mexican sort of pasta - rotel tomato, corn, beans, etc.

Karen, I don't think I have seen those noodles, but I'd be interested to try them!

I think I'd only eat the edamame noodles if I'm making lunch for myself (that's what I've been doing since I'm off this week).  I don't think they would pass muster for the family - especially since the texture is different from regular noodles. ;)

      dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks while on strict gluten-free diet

      By Richardo · Posted

      I never eat oats, haven't for years because of the possible cross contamination. I know the difference in my.body's reaction to the big 3 vs corn or rice. Vomiting was always  an issue if I wasn't careful.with wheat, rye or barley but rhe only issue I had with corn was the dermatitis herpetiformis.  I'm not a dermatologist but I know how certain foods affect me and I just hope my story can offer others an alternative hope to try that isn't dangerous to their health. As for me... I'm grain free LOL and loving the freedom from dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Royal Caribbean Only, Please

      By AuntieAutoimmune · Posted

      Hi, Everyone, My husband and I are contemplating an RCL cruise and would like to hear from anyone who has sailed on RCL. Please do not post information on other cruise lines. We are either going on Celebrity (which we've sailed many times and know is good—we don't need any information) or Royal Caribbean. So, RCL only, please, and only those who have already sailed. Thanks!

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      There are third party home test kits for celiac disease that do not involve needles. They use a cheek swab I believe. The cost is a little over $100 USD I believe for most of them.  A 7 week "gluten challenge" should be more than enough. The absolute minimum according to guidelines is 2 weeks but I would not cut it that close. I usually recommend four weeks but the more the better in so far as ensuring valid testing. "My daughter was told by her doctor to eliminate american grains due to the fortifying process." What's this about? Are you referring to the vitamins and minerals added to processed cereal grain products in the USA? Is this supposed to be harmful according to this doctor? What kind of doctor is this? MD? Naturopath? What is interesting is that when people go gluten free they often need to supplement with vitamins and minerals to compensate for the loss of vitamins and minerals they were getting in wheat products. Most gluten free facsimile flours are nutritionally bankrupt.  Yes, there is a significant statistical correlation between Hashimotos and celiac disease. Autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. Omeprazole and other PPI meds are concerning when used long term in that they raise gut PH (lower acidity) and inhibit the digestion and assimilation of nutrients. They are some of the most over prescribed and under monitored meds in all of pharmacology. I was on Omeprazole for years and weaned myself off it. It was a real fight because of rebound. I bridged with TUMS which is much better option when used for spot coverage. The interesting thing is, a lot of GERD is actually caused by hypoacidity rather than hyperacidity. If you have a lot of GERD you might want to look into MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)/histamine intolerance which is another medical problem very common in the celiac community.
