Green beans have a very green/fresh flavor and actually come in all sorts of colors and patterns! Purple, yellow, red, green, striped, and more. Some, like the red ones, will actually turn green if steamed, and all the red color will transfer to the bottom of the steamed water like magic! Typically used fresh or cooked.
Green beans are associated with a potentially lower risk of breast, colon, and prostate cancer. Green beans are also associated with potential eye health and improvement with depression. Some studies show that green beans may appear to promote fertility in women.
