About My Green Beans Recipes 

Nutrition Information

Fresh green beans are an excellent source of fiber. They are high in vitamin C and potassium, and naturally low in calories. Aside from that, I will not be offering any other nutritional or caloric/carbohydrate information as these are my own recipes and I am not a scientist.
