Did you know?

Green beans are legumes eaten as immature pods before the seeds ripen, which is why they carry far fewer calories than dried beans.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
