Beans, runner, raw

Runner beans are a vegetable eaten as pods. The figures here describe raw runner beans with the ends and sides trimmed. They provide small amounts of carbohydrate and protein, along with vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 3.2g carbohydrate, 1.6g protein, 18mg vitamin C and 60µg folate.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Folate is needed for normal cell division and blood formation. Runner beans contain little fat and only trace amounts of salt; added ingredients during preparation can change the overall nutritional content. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
