Beans, green, raw

Green beans are vegetables eaten as pods with the seeds inside. The figures here describe raw green beans, including dwarf, fine and extra fine varieties, rather than runner beans. Per 100g, they provide 3.4g of fibre, 3.1g of carbohydrate, 2.1g of protein and 58µg of folate. They also contain vitamin C, vitamin K and a range of minerals.

Fibre supports normal bowel function, while folate is needed for normal cell division and the formation of blood cells. Raw green beans contain little fat or saturated fat and only a trace of salt. Cooking and added ingredients can change their nutrient content. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (22 samples, autumn and winter, UK grown and imported, pre-packed and loose, including dwarf, fine and extra fine, not runner bean). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
