About Chauchas
Chauchas, commonly known as green beans or snap beans, are a versatile legume originating from Central and South America. Widely used in cuisines across Latin America, they are celebrated for their crisp texture and mild flavor. Rich in essential nutrients, chauchas provide a significant source of vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, and dietary fiber, which support immune health, bone strength, and digestion. They're also low in calories and contain antioxidants like beta-carotene and lutein, promoting overall cellular health. Their negligible fat content makes them a heart-friendly option. Typically enjoyed steamed, sautéed, or added to salads, chauchas are a staple in healthy diets. However, when consumed in rich sauces or fried, their health benefits may be reduced due to added fats and sodium. A balanced preparation allows them to shine as a nutritious and flavorful addition to various meals.
