Green Beans, Canned

EverydayCannedDrained

Canned green beans are pre-cooked green legumes preserved in brine, offering year-round availability with a softer texture than fresh or frozen varieties. The canning process retains significant fiber and vitamins C and K, though some heat-sensitive nutrients may be reduced. While convenient, they typically contain added sodium (300-400mg per half-cup drained), though draining and rinsing can lower sodium content by up to 40%. These beans require no additional cooking and work well in casseroles, soups, or as a quick side dish.
