About Romano beans

Romano beans, also known as Italian flat beans, are a versatile legume popular in Mediterranean cuisine. Originating from Italy, they are distinguishable by their flat shape and tender texture, making them ideal for sautés, stews, and salads. Nutritionally, Romano beans are a rich source of fiber, protein, and essential vitamins like folate and vitamin C, which support digestion, cell repair, and immune health. They also contain antioxidants that help combat inflammation, along with minerals such as iron and potassium for energy and heart health. Low in fat and calories, these beans are a healthy addition to most diets. However, like other legumes, they should be consumed in moderation by those with sensitivities to lectins or digestive issues. Romano beans can be a delicious way to enhance meals while contributing to your overall well-being.
