About Quarter cup of green beans
A quarter cup of green beans is a low-calorie, nutrient-dense vegetable serving packed with vitamins and minerals. Originating from Central and South America, green beans are a popular ingredient in cuisines worldwide, including American, Mediterranean, and Asian dishes. This portion provides approximately 10 calories, making it an excellent choice for those managing weight. Green beans are rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, and dietary fiber, supporting immune health, bone strength, and digestion. They also contain small amounts of iron and magnesium, contributing to energy and muscle function. Naturally cholesterol-free and low in carbohydrates, green beans are heart-healthy and suitable for most diets. However, some preparations like frying or adding heavy sauces can increase fat and sodium content, reducing their nutritional value. Enjoy green beans steamed, roasted, or lightly sautéed for optimal health benefits and vibrant flavor.
