In addition to being versatile and delicious, green beans contain a wealth of nutrients.

Green beans provide some of our daily protein requirements. They also contain vitamins like vitamin A, C, K, B6, and folic acid. Green beans are a good source of minerals such as calcium, iron, manganese, potassium, and copper. They also contain that much-needed fiber!
