About Fresh steamed green beans

Fresh steamed green beans are a nutritious and versatile vegetable enjoyed worldwide, commonly featured in American, French, and Mediterranean cuisines. Known for their vibrant green color and tender texture, these beans retain their natural flavor when steamed, making them a simple yet satisfying choice. Packed with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as fiber and folate, green beans support healthy digestion, immune function, and bone strength. They are low in calories and fat, making them a heart-smart addition to any meal. Steaming preserves most of their nutrients, unlike frying or boiling, which can reduce their nutritional value. While naturally sodium-free, the addition of sauces or seasonings may increase salt content, so mindful preparation is key. Whether served as a side dish or mixed into recipes, fresh steamed green beans bring both freshness and health benefits to your plate.
