This is another favourite dish of the children
and old folks in my house. It is a good accompaniment with white congee. Also suitable during confinement.
Green beans are very delicious with a crunchy texture and
great flavour. Some of the health benefits
of green beans include reduced risk of heart disease and colon cancer
as well as improved regulation of diabetes.
They also provide a big boost to the immune system, the health of the eyes and
bones, while regulating the digestive processes. They have also been shown to reduce
the risk of birth defects for pregnant women. Green beans can cause allergic reactions involving
rash and itching in some people. It also contain oxalic acid may crystallize as
oxalate stones in the urinary tract in some people.
