Short answer: yes. Longer answer: at 2 mg per 1/2 cup, Edamame is one of the safer things you can eat if you're watching oxalate. Harvard T.H. Chan SPH measured this directly.

How much oxalate is in Edamame?

One 1/2 cup of Edamame = 2 mg oxalate. Scale it up to 100g and you're at 0 mg. Direct measurement from Harvard, 2024. About as reliable as food data gets.
