About Ejotes

Ejotes, commonly known as green beans or string beans, are a versatile legume widely used in cuisines around the globe, including Mexican, Asian, and American dishes. Originating from Central and South America, these vibrant green vegetables are prized for their crisp texture and mild flavor. Ejotes are low in calories yet packed with essential nutrients, such as vitamins A, C, and K, fiber, and folate, making them an excellent choice for heart health, digestion, and maintaining strong bones. Their natural antioxidants help combat free radicals while supporting overall immune function. These beans contain negligible fats and no cholesterol, making them a healthy addition to any diet. Whether steamed, sautéed, or roasted, ejotes can be enjoyed as a side dish, included in salads, or even incorporated into hearty entrées. However, dishes featuring ejotes can become less healthy if cooked in excessive oils or rich sauces.
