May promote healthy blood sugar regulation

Those who consume a lot of easily digestible carbohydrates, such as sugar, on a daily basis may be at a higher risk of developing chronic illness. This is because a high-carbohydrate diet causes high post-meal blood sugar levels and poor blood sugar management, which may raise the risk of developing health disorders such as type 2 diabetes.

Edamame, like other beans, does not boost blood sugar levels substantially. It has a low carbohydrate content in comparison to protein and fat. It also ranks very low on the glycemic index, which assesses how much food raises blood sugar levels. As a result, diabetics can consume edamame.
