About Yard long beans
Yard long beans, also known as Chinese long beans or asparagus beans, are a nutrient-rich vegetable native to Southeast Asia and commonly featured in Asian, African, and Indian cuisines. They are slender green pods that grow up to 18 inches in length and offer a slightly earthy flavor with a crisp texture when lightly cooked. Yard long beans are an excellent source of fiber, vitamins A and C, folate, and iron, contributing to healthy digestion, immune support, and red blood cell production. Additionally, they are low in calories and fat, making them a wholesome choice for heart health and weight management. Their antioxidant properties help combat free radicals, promoting overall cellular health. Best enjoyed steamed, stir-fried, or sautéed, yard long beans are a versatile and nutritious addition to any meal. However, excessive cooking can reduce their vitamin content, so minimal preparation is ideal to retain their health benefits.
