Raw green beans, also known as snap beans or string beans, are a crisp, low-calorie vegetable enjoyed worldwide for their mild flavor and versatility. Originating from Central and South America, they are now common in cuisines ranging from Asian stir-fries to Mediterranean salads. Packed with nutrients, green beans are an excellent source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, and vitamin K, supporting healthy digestion and immune function. They also provide folate, essential for cell growth, along with antioxidants that help combat inflammation. Low in fat and free of cholesterol, they are a heart-healthy choice. However, raw green beans contain small amounts of lectins, which may interfere with nutrient absorption in large quantities. Cooking them lightly can reduce these compounds while preserving their nutritional value. Whether enjoyed raw or cooked, green beans are a nutritious and refreshing addition to any meal.
