About Green beans

Green beans, also known as string beans or snap beans, are vibrant green vegetables popular in cuisines worldwide, from American to Asian dishes. Native to Central and South America, they are a seasonal favorite but are available year-round. Green beans are a low-calorie, highly nutritious food, rich in vitamins like C, A, and K, and minerals such as iron, calcium, and potassium. They are also a good source of dietary fiber and antioxidants, which help support digestion and combat free radicals. Green beans are naturally fat-free and cholesterol-free, making them heart-healthy and ideal for weight management. However, their nutritional value can diminish when overcooked or prepared with heavy creams, oils, or salty seasonings. Whether sautéed, steamed, or added to stir-fries, green beans are a versatile and wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
