The 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend consuming 2 to 3 cups of vegetables each day.<\/span> Finding a vegetable you love and will eat consistently will help you reach this daily goal. If green beans are your favorite veggie, by all means, eat them as often as you’d like. They are a great source of vitamin K, vitamin C, folate and fiber. They are both a source of carbs and protein.<\/p>"
