Reading the evidence
The “no flour” row reproduces LCG’s wording. Edamame bean flour is not wheat flour, and that wording alone does not establish the presence of additives or fillers. The firmness and lower-price answers are distributor-reported claims, not results of a controlled taste test or a current like-for-like price survey.
Nutrition figures are reproduced on the serving bases listed by LCG; Liviva’s serving weight is not specified in the chart. No nutritional superiority is claimed from unequal serving sizes. Check each pack for current ingredients, allergens and certification marks. Otelia’s cooking directions remain 7 minutes in boiling water, followed by draining.
