Introduction:
You can harvest 2 different foods from the green bean or garden bean. They can be both pole and bush beans. They taste very fine and subtle.
Use/Preparation:
The beans can be cooked as a vegetable side dish, e.g. with butter or wrapped in bacon, as a salad, in soups and stews. Caution: Beans should not be eaten raw, as the harmful phasin is only destroyed by cooking.
Health:
Beans contain a lot of vegetable protein. They also provide B vitamins and minerals such as potassium, calcium and magnesium. Tea made from bean shells has a diuretic effect and can be used for kidney and bladder problems.
Alternatives:
As a substitute for beans, other legumes or vegetables are suitable that are equally rich in protein, B vitamins, iron, calcium and magnesium. These include kidney beans, chickpeas, black beans, peas, lentils, edamame or broccoli.
