What is this food?
Boiled green snap bean pods (green beans), a type of vegetable that’s low in calories and naturally sweet-tasting.
Why it matters to health
For 100g, it’s only about 27 kcal and has 2g fiber plus 1g sugar. The fiber helps you feel full longer and supports healthy digestion, which is helpful when you’re doing 3 full meals + 1–2 snacks a day. It’s also very low in fat (0.1g) and cholesterol (0mg). Sodium is low (1mg), making it a good option even if you’re watching salt intake.
Healthier tips
- To make it a great part of your meals:
- Pair it with a balanced plate—add rice or root crops (in proper portion), plus protein (fish, chicken, tofu, eggs, or beans).
- For snacks, you can include a small serving with a protein source (e.g., boiled beans + hard-boiled egg) to stay satisfied.
- Go easy on added oil and salty sauces; try garlic, onion, herbs, or a squeeze of calamansi for flavor.
- Aim to include vegetables like this at least once or twice daily (more if you can), especially with lunch and dinner.
