About Flat beans

Flat beans, also known as Romano beans or Italian green beans, are a variety of snap beans with a broad, flat shape and tender texture. Native to Mediterranean regions, they are commonly used in Italian, Spanish, and Middle Eastern cuisines, often featured in stews, salads, and sautés. Rich in fiber, flat beans aid digestion and help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. They also provide essential nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, and potassium, supporting immune function, bone health, and heart health. Low in calories and fat, flat beans are a nutritious choice for weight management and overall wellness. Despite their benefits, they are best enjoyed fresh and minimally cooked to preserve their nutrient profile. Pair them with olive oil, garlic, or tomatoes for a flavorful and wholesome dish that showcases their natural goodness.
