About Big beans

Big Beans, commonly known as Giant Greek Beans or Broad Beans, are a staple in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly in Greece. These large legumes are typically slow-cooked in rich tomato-based sauces with herbs, olive oil, and sometimes garlic, creating a hearty and flavorful dish. Packed with plant-based proteins, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron, potassium, and magnesium, Big Beans are an excellent choice for supporting muscle growth, digestion, and heart health. They’re naturally low in fat and free of cholesterol, making them a wholesome addition to vegetarian or vegan diets. Olive oil often found in their recipes provides healthy monounsaturated fats, though high calorie content from oils and sauces should be considered for portion control. Versatile and satisfying, Big Beans are as delicious as they are nutritious.
