Eating raw green beans - or any vegetables - rather than cooking them, can help you to get more nutritional benefits.

Raw Green Beans are rich in magnesium (giving you energy), rich in vitamin A (helps you fight infections) and are a good source of fluoride (helping to prevent tooth decay and strengthens your bones) and even have a little protein!

The fiber in raw green beans helps increase feelings of fullness. One cup of raw green beans has just 31 calories!
