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. ;)

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
