Green beans are members of the common bean family, Phaseolus vulgaris, and are a popular part of diets around the world.
Beans are high in fiber, averaging around 5–8 grams per serving. They also have a very low glycemic index (GI). Low-GI foods raise blood sugar slowly, which is important for managing diabetes.
The legumes are full of antioxidants, including vitamin C, flavonols, quercetin, and kaemferol. These antioxidants fight free radicals in the body, which helps to reduce cell damage and may help to lower your risk of certain health conditions.
They are also high in carotenoids such as lutein, zeaxanthin and beta-carotene. In terms of minerals, green beans can be a good source of calcium, silicon, iron, manganese, potassium, and copper.
