Beans

Description

Beans (green beans / fresh beans) are a crunchy, slender vegetable with a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a tender-crisp texture. They are low in calories but rich in fiber, vitamins (especially vitamin C and some B-vitamins), and minerals like potassium. Beans are commonly used in stir-fries, curries, sautéed dishes, soups, salads, and mixed vegetable recipes. Their neutral taste and firm texture help them hold up well under cooking — they absorb spices and seasonings while still adding a pleasant bite. Because of their fiber content and low fat, beans are often valued in healthy diets for digestion, weight management, and general nutritional balance.
