August Superfood of the Month: Green Beans
This month’s superfood of the month is the beloved green bean! Perfectly crunchy, and able to pair with many different flavors, the green bean is a summer vegetable that’s enjoyed by many. Not only are green beans fun to eat, they’re also nutritious, high in fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, and folate.
Many gardeners grow green beans because they are fairly easy to grow. In fact, green beans are the third most popular vegetable grown in backyard gardens, after tomatoes and peppers. If you’re ever in North Georgia on the last Saturday in July, swing by the Green Bean Festival in Blairsville, Georgia, where the vegetable is honored!
