Raw green beans are 90% water, 7% carbohydrates, 2% protein, and contain negligible fat (table). In a 100-gram (3.5-ounce) reference amount, raw green beans supply 31 calories and are a moderate source (range 10–19% of the Daily Value) of vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B 6, and manganese, while other micronutrients are in low supply (table).

The word 'bean', for the Old World vegetable, existed in Old English, [3] long before the New World genus Phaseolus was known in Europe. With the Columbian exchange of domestic plants between Europe and the Americas, use of the word was extended to pod-borne seeds of Phaseolus, such as the common bean and the runner bean, and the related genus Vigna.
Some are endemic, meaning they occur naturally only in the Americas and nowhere else, while others occur naturally both in the Americas and on other continents as well. When complete, the list below will include all food plants native to the Americas ( genera marked with a dagger † are endemic), regardless of when or where they were first ...
The FAO recognizes 11 primary pulses, excluding green vegetable legumes (e.g. green peas) and legumes used mainly for oil extraction (e.g., soybeans and groundnuts) or used only as seed (e.g., clover and alfalfa). [6] Dry beans (FAOSTAT code 0176, Phaseolus spp. including several species now in Vigna)
Canned tomatoes, carrots and green beans not only add great flavor to this soup, but nutrition too. According to a Michigan State University study, many canned vegetables have equal or more ...
The vine can grow to 3 metres (9.8 ft) or more in length, [8] its pods can get to 25 centimetres (9.8 in), and its beans can be up to 2.5 centimetres (0.98 in) or more. [ 9 ] It differs from the common bean ( P. vulgaris ) in several respects: the cotyledons stay in the ground during germination , and the plant is a perennial vine with tuberous ...
It is one of the most economically important legume genera. Five of the species have been domesticated since pre-Columbian times for their beans: P. acutifolius (tepary bean), P. coccineus (runner bean), P. dumosus (year bean), P. lunatus (lima bean), and P. vulgaris (common bean).
