Unique Nutritional Support from Green Beans

Unlike their very close relatives in the dried bean category (including navy, pinto, and black beans), green beans are lighter weight and less densely packed with carbohydrates. A one-cup serving of cooked green beans will provide about 45 calories and 10 grams of carbs. By contrast, one cup of cooked black beans will provide about 225 calories and 40 grams of carbs. So with green beans, you are getting a lighter and lower calorie food, as well as one with a remarkable crunchy although soft texture; yet you are still getting some of the key nutrient benefits that are usually associated with legumes. For example: like their fellow legumes, green beans qualify as an important source of dietary fiber and dietary protein, as well as a source of key minerals like copper, magnesium, and iron. At the same time, however, green beans go on to provide other benefits more closely associated with vegetables. You are not going to find legumes in our Top 50 foods for vitamin C, yet you are going to find green beans there. Nor will you find legumes in our Top 25 list for vitamin K. But once again, you will find green beans on that Top 25 list. You are also going to find green beans achieving rankings of excellent, very good, or good for 21 nutrients. While this high total number of rankings is not unusual for a vegetable, it is unusual for legumes. Black beans, for example only have 11 total nutrient rankings. Not that 11 rankings is a small number of nutrient rankings for a food! It’s just that numbers in this range are more indicative of legumes than they are of vegetables. So as you can see, “leguminous vegetables” like green beans have a way of delivering unique nutritional support that draws from both the legume and vegetable food groups.
