About Yardlong beans
Yardlong beans, known for their impressive length of up to 18 inches, are a staple in many Asian and African cuisines. Originating in Southeast Asia, these beans offer a mild, nutty flavor and tender-crisp texture, making them a versatile choice for stir-fries, curries, and salads. Nutritionally, yardlong beans are low in calories and packed with vitamins A and C, which support immune health and skin integrity. They are also a good source of fiber, aiding digestion, and contain essential minerals like iron and potassium, important for blood and heart health. With their high antioxidant content, they may help combat oxidative stress in the body. However, cooking with excessive oil may reduce their health benefits, so steaming or sautéing is recommended. Their unique appearance and healthful properties make yardlong beans both a nutritious and visually appealing addition to any meal.
