Judías verdes, also known as green beans or string beans, are a versatile and nutrient-rich vegetable enjoyed in various cuisines around the world, particularly in Mediterranean, Latin American, and Asian dishes. These tender, crisp legumes are low in calories and an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like iron, potassium, and manganese. They are also high in fiber, promoting healthy digestion and helping to maintain balanced blood sugar levels. Judías verdes are naturally free of cholesterol and low in fat, making them a heart-healthy addition to meals. Their mild flavor and crunchy texture make them ideal for steaming, sautéing, or roasting. When prepared with minimal added fats or sodium, green beans can be a highly nutritious choice. However, watch for calorie-heavy additions like creamy sauces or fried preparations, which may reduce their health benefits.
