About Runner beans

Runner beans, native to Central and South America, are a versatile legume often enjoyed in cuisines worldwide. Recognizable by their long, flat, green pods, they’re a rich source of vitamins A, C, and K, along with key minerals like iron and magnesium. Packed with dietary fiber, they support digestive health and can help maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Low in calories and virtually fat-free, runner beans are a great addition to weight management diets. Their plant-based protein content also makes them a valuable component of vegetarian and vegan meals. Traditionally used in British cooking, they’re often steamed, boiled, or stir-fried to retain their nutritional benefits. However, excessive cooking can lead to nutrient loss, so gentle preparation methods are ideal. High-quality runner beans often have smooth, vibrant pods, ensuring both great taste and maximum health benefits when fresh.
