Do you love sweets but worry about how healthy they are?

For a limited time only, you can get your hands on the Low-Sugar Edamame Cheesecake (made using organic edamame (green soybeans) and edamame grown using natural farming methods) at the low-carb vegetable dessert specialist store Patisserie Potager. If you're looking for something savoury, Soy Pasta, pasta made exclusively from soybeans, is also available for purchase!
■ Available for a Limited Time Only, Low-Sugar Edamame Cheesecake
Potager's Edamame Cheesecake is made using generous amounts of truly delicious edamame, including organic edamame from several places across Japan as well as carefully selected edamame grown using natural farming methods.
By making the most of the natural flavour, aroma, and sweetness of edamame grown by hard-working farmers, this cheesecake has a full-bodied flavour but also contains a low amount of sugar. Pureeing the edamame using a strainer keeps them fragrant and delicious and creates an incredibly smooth texture. The cheesecake also contains some whole edamame, so you can enjoy that unique edamame texture, too. The surface features a pretty pattern made using purple sweet potato, and the fresh cream on top is cutely decorated with whole edamame.
This surprising cheesecake combines fragrant edamame puree with rich cream cheese for a taste that will keep you coming back for more. You won't experience this "cheesecake of the field" anywhere else, so if you happen to be in Japan while it's available, why not give it a try?

■ Potager's Obsession With Low-Carb Vegetable Desserts
Potager's registered dietitians calculate the nutritional balance of Potager's cakes, and each one is made by hand before being delivered straight to the customer's home. From basic ingredients like wheat flour and eggs, Potager insists on using only the very best ingredients for its sweets. As much as possible, Potager uses natural ingredients carefully selected by its patissiers, and none of its creations contain any additives. The excellent texture of its desserts is made using bean curd lees and soy flour, and the natural sweetener Lakanto® (made from the monk fruit) is added to make up for any lack of sweetness caused by the beet sugar that Potager uses. Thanks to these considerations, Potager's sweets are kind to your body.
