Benefits of eating Long Beans
- Protein:
Your body uses protein to strengthen, repair and build tissue. The Harvard School of Public Health recommends all kinds of beans as rich sources of lean protein. A half cup of string beans offers up approximately a gram of protein, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
- Low Calories:
A half cup of long beans has just 15 calories, reports the University of Illinois Extension. This makes beans a low-calorie food. The fiber can also keep you feeling full, thereby helping you stay on a diet.
- High in Calcium:
If you avoid dairy, you can get calcium in long beans. Your body needs calcium to keep bones strong and teeth sturdy. A half cup of string beans yields 31.5 mg of this important mineral, according to the University of Illinois Extension.
