Nutritional values
Digestive problems were yesterday: capsaicin from the chili pepper gets the intestines moving. Green beans are rich in beta-carotene, which, when converted to vitamin A, is important for the visual process and plays an important role in the formation of skin and mucous membranes.
During the asparagus season, try the crunchy salad with green asparagus instead of beans. The green stalks offer particularly high levels of folic acid. The B vitamin is involved in cell renewal and blood formation, among other things.
