About Green bean

Green beans, also known as string beans or snap beans, are a nutrient-rich vegetable native to Central and South America and widely enjoyed across global cuisines. Crisp and vibrant, they can be steamed, sautéed, roasted, or added to casseroles and stir-fries. Green beans are a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate, providing essential nutrients that support digestion, bone health, and the immune system. They contain antioxidants like beta-carotene and lutein, which contribute to overall cellular health. Low in calories and naturally free of fat and cholesterol, they’re ideal for weight management and heart health. However, for those watching sodium, it’s important to avoid heavily salted preparations. Rich in versatility and free from common allergens, green beans are a staple of balanced diets worldwide, complementing dishes ranging from Asian stir-fries to classic American holiday casseroles.
