About Southern green beans

Southern Green Beans are a traditional dish rooted in Southern U.S. cuisine, known for their rich, savory flavor. Typically made by simmering fresh green beans with smoky bacon or ham, onion, garlic, and optional seasonings like black pepper, this dish balances hearty comfort with vegetable goodness. The slow cooking process allows the beans to absorb deep flavors, resulting in a tender and flavorful side dish. Nutritionally, green beans are a great source of fiber, vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate. They are low in calories and provide antioxidant properties that support overall health. However, the inclusion of bacon or ham can add significant sodium and fat, making it important to enjoy this dish in moderation or adapt with lighter ingredients for a healthier spin. Overall, Southern Green Beans embody homestyle cooking with a combination of nutrition and indulgence.
