About Habichuela

Habichuela, commonly known as green beans or string beans, is a nutritious and versatile vegetable celebrated in many cuisines worldwide, particularly in Latin American and Caribbean dishes. Originating from Central and South America, this slender, crisp legume is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, promoting healthy skin, immunity, and bone strength. It is also a good source of fiber, supporting digestion and heart health, while being low in calories and fat, making it ideal for weight management. Habichuelas are packed with antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which contribute to eye health and combat free radicals in the body. They can be enjoyed steamed, sautéed, or added to soups and stews for extra texture and flavor. However, some recipes may include additional fats or sodium, so preparation methods can influence their overall nutritional profile. A perfect addition to a balanced diet, habichuelas are both flavorful and wholesome.
