What is this food?
Fresh snap bean seeds (black & brown) — a type of legume/bean used as a plant-based source of protein and fiber.
Why it matters to health
Beans like this help support fullness and steadier energy because they have carbohydrates plus fiber and very little fat. They also contribute protein for muscle repair and growth. With low sodium (about 17 mg per 100 g) and no cholesterol, they’re a good option for everyday meals. Since it’s still a carb-containing food (33.5 g per 100 g), pairing it with vegetables and controlling portions helps keep your meals balanced.
Healthier tips
- Use it as a protein add-on for your main meals (lunch or dinner), not just as a side.
- Pair with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., pechay, kangkong, carrots, tomatoes) and a small serving of rice if you eat rice.
- For snacks, you can portion it into a small serving with vegetables (instead of sugary snacks) to stay satisfied longer.
- Cook with minimal oil; season with herbs, garlic, onion, and a little salt to keep sodium lower.
