Edamame, ever heard of it? Maybe not, but I'm sure you've seen or tasted it. These are Japanese soybeans that are very nutritious and the name is pronounced Ay-dah-mah-may. They are packed with protein, vitamin A, and iron. Some researchers recently discovered a naturally occuring fat in these green soybeans, that can fight wrinkles caused by sun damage and natural aging. This naturally occuring fat stimulates the production of new collagen, a protein that keeps skin strong and supple. Although researchers still have to figure out exactly how much of these soybeans you would need to fight wrinkles, there's no reason to cut back. Edamame has a lot of fiber and vitamin C.
