Beans, green/French, canned, re-heated, drained

Green or French beans are vegetables. The figures here describe canned whole or sliced beans that have been reheated and drained. They consist mainly of water and provide small amounts of carbohydrate and protein. Per 100g, they contain 4.1g of carbohydrate, 1.5g of protein, 0.1g of fat and 0.85g of salt.

Although the fat content is low, the salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Salt contains sodium, which helps regulate fluid balance, but higher salt intake can raise blood pressure. These beans also provide iron, which is needed to make haemoglobin in red blood cells.
