Green Beans

Green Beans

EverydayFresh

Green beans are fresh, immature pods from the common bean plant (Phaseolus vulgaris), harvested before the inner seeds fully develop. These low-calorie vegetables provide notable fiber, vitamin C, and vitamin K while maintaining a crisp-tender texture when steamed, sautéed, or roasted. Unlike mature shelling beans, the entire pod and seeds are edible, making them a versatile ingredient in both raw and cooked preparations across various cuisines.
