Beans, a versatile vegetable belonging to the legume family, are celebrated for their nutritional richness and global culinary appeal. Common varieties include green beans, snap beans, and string beans. Their origins trace back to Central and South America but they are now staples in cuisines worldwide, from Asian stir-fries to Mediterranean salads. Beans are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate, fiber, and potassium, supporting heart health, digestion, and immunity. They are low in calories, making them ideal for weight management. However, beans are best consumed fresh or steamed; traditional preparations like casseroles may incorporate unhealthy fats or added sodium. Packed with plant protein, they cater well to vegetarian and vegan diets. Whether sautéed, roasted, or blanched, beans are a nutritious, delicious addition to nearly any meal.
