About Sitaw

Sitaw, commonly known as string beans or yardlong beans, is a nutrient-packed legume widely used in Southeast Asian cuisines, particularly Filipino dishes like "Adobong Sitaw." Originating from tropical regions, these slender, elongated beans are a versatile ingredient often stir-fried, sautéed, or added to soups and stews. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, sitaw is also a good source of dietary fiber, folate, and manganese, which support digestion, immunity, and bone health. Its low calorie and fat content make it ideal for maintaining a healthy diet. Sitaw is naturally free of cholesterol and contains antioxidants that help combat free radicals. However, cooking methods like deep-frying or adding high-fat sauces can reduce its nutritional benefits. Overall, sitaw is a healthy, flavorful vegetable that complements a balanced diet while offering a delicious, earthy crunch.
