Grean beans

Bush beans, also known as green beans or garden beans, originally come from Central and South America. There is evidence that the bean has been cultivated as a food for more than 7000 years. The bean arrived in Europe in the 16th century.  

They contain vitamins A, B, C and E, as well as potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and amino acids.
Beans are inedible when raw as they contain the poisonous protein phasein. However, this is destroyed during cooking.

Beans are sensitive to cold and should not be stored below 6°C. To prevent rotting, beans should not get wet. Temperature fluctuations should also be avoided to prevent condensation.
