About these values
The record is frozen edamame, prepared for eating. The USDA record is "Edamame, frozen, prepared" (SR Legacy, FDC ID 168411). It gives 11.91 g of protein and 121 kcal per 100 g.
Protein in a portion is its weight times the protein per 100 g, divided by 100. For 1 cup of edamame: 155 × 11.91 ÷ 100 = 18.5 g. Values on this page are rounded to 0.1 g.
A packaged food's own label can differ from the USDA average. When you have the label, its numbers are the ones for that product.
