    Beloved vegetable, green beans are not only tasty but also incredibly healthy. They are a great source of fiber, potassium, and folic acid, as well as an excellent source of protein, iron, and zinc. They contain antioxidants similar to those found in green tea, known as catechins, which can improve heart health, prevent cancer, and help prevent diabetes. Additionally, they are a good source of vitamin C, which helps fight infections and provides protective benefits for our immune system. With only 30 calories and 3.4 grams of fiber per 1½-inch serving, green beans are a great addition to any meal.

    Green beans are available in supermarkets almost year-round, but the peak season for fresh green and wax beans is from May to September. Frozen green beans are another option to have this healthy vegetable on hand for dinner, sides, and more. They are versatile and take on flavors very well, as the beans skin can easily absorb taste.
