    Green Bean Nutrition Facts

    Green Beans contain phytonutrients and antioxidants, which act like super heroes to protect us from getting sick.

    Green Beans contain a lot of Vitamin C and Beta-Carotene, which are VERY powerful antioxidants! They are our bodies super heroes!
    Green Beans contain Vitamin K which helps our bodies absorb important minerals like iron and calcium, from the foods we eat.
    Green Beans contain a small amount of something called ALA which is similar to the Omega-3 fatty acids that fish contain. This helps keep our hearts healthy!
    Green Beans also contain 2 enzymes that are ‘anti-inflammatories’. Which means it is good to eat them to help prevent or treat certain diseases like diabetes or arthritis, and even help with sinus allergies!
    BONUS FACT: Did you know that Green Beans are in the same family as Black, Pinto and Kidney Beans?
