Who doesn’t love edamame? It’s salty, slippery and super fun to eat! The soybean snack is so popular in Canada, many fans (ourselves included) will be surprised to learn most edamame that lands on our plates—99% of it, in fact—has travelled all the way from China. For the love of all things local, there’s gotta be a better way!
Enter Canada’s very own "Prince Farming," Jacob MacKellar, the fourth-gen owner of Ontario’s MacKellar Farms and the first producer of 100% naturally and Canadian grown edamame—these beans are pure, natural and free of GMOs, and packed with protein, fibre and essential amino acids.
“By choosing us, the 1% of edamame grown locally here in Canada, you’re positively impacting the lives of many,” MacKellar says. “You’re showing support for Canadian family farmers, your neighbours and, most importantly, you’re making a smart, healthy choice.”
Can you say, yummy edamame? —Noa Nichol
