Green beans are a vegetable eaten with their pods. The figures here describe green beans, not runner beans, boiled in unsalted water. They provide carbohydrate, fibre and some protein, along with vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 4g of carbohydrate, 4.1g of fibre, 2.1g of protein and 58µg of folate.
Fibre helps support normal bowel function, while folate is needed for normal blood cell formation. Green beans prepared this way contain only a trace of salt and little saturated fat. Adding salt, butter or sauces can change their salt, fat and energy content. The full nutrient figures for beans boiled in unsalted water are shown in the tables below.
