This is a well-balanced dish consisting of real, whole foods. Carrots are high in Vitamin A, which is an essential nutrient for good vision, and ginger has Vitamin E, which aids in digestion. Edamame is a great plant-based protein with fiber, calcium and iron too. It just goes to show that you can still get necessary protein and nutrients from a vegan meal.” —Sara Monk, registered dietitian, Riverfront Nutrition Associates, Oradell
