Green beans are crisp, tender vegetables rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as fiber. They’re also a source of plant-based protein and antioxidants. Green beans can be steamed, roasted, or sautéed, making them a simple and healthy side dish. Some green beans even come purple, coming from anthocyanin, the same antioxidant pigment found in other purple fruits and vegetables, like blueberries. However, purple beans turn green when cooked and taste very similar. You can always enjoy green beans raw though as a crunchy snack! For the holidays, try a healthier alternative to green bean casserole like this!
