French Beans are rich with protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium, zinc, vitamins A, B, D and starch. French beans also contain much iron, which aid blood cells production. Vitamin B present in them benefits the Qi (vital energy), the spleen and kidneys. French beans are filled with healthy dietary fibers that help in the prevention of cholesterol. These fibers are also beneficial for diabetic people as they help in preventing the sugar levels from rising up immediately after having a meal. French beans also help in improving the immune system of the body as they are a rich source of Vitamin C. The presence of copper in French beans, in turn, helps in the proper synthesis of hemoglobin. They also contribute in preventing fatal diseases like colon cancer. With many more health benefits these french beans always make their entry in my pantry. Here comes a simple recipe to prepare this nutritious beans….
This fry is going to participate in My Legume Love Affair – Eighth Helping by Susan of The Well-Seasoned Cook.
