Fresh green beans, also known as string beans or snap beans, are a crisp, vibrant vegetable commonly used in a variety of cuisines worldwide. Native to Central and South America, they have gained prominence in dishes ranging from Asian stir-fries to classic American casseroles. Green beans are rich in essential nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, fiber, and folate, while being naturally low in calories, sodium, and fat. This makes them an excellent choice for supporting heart health, digestion, and immune function. Their antioxidants, such as lutein and beta-carotene, may also promote healthy eyes and skin. Green beans are versatile, enjoyed steamed, sautéed, roasted, or even raw, offering both flavor and nutrition. To maximize their benefits, limit heavy cream, butter, or salty seasonings often added in recipes. They're a wholesome, nutrient-packed addition to any balanced diet.
