Lancaster County Green Beans are this week’s Healthy Snack
Eating raw green beans – or any vegetables – rather than cooking them, can help you to get more nutritional benefits. Raw Green Beans are rich in magnesium (giving you energy), rich in vitamin A (helps you fight infections) and are a good source of fluoride (helping to prevent tooth decay and strengthens your bones) and even have a little protein! The fiber in raw green beans helps increase feelings of fullness. One cup of raw green beans has just 31 calories!
Our healthy snack is provided by Bause Catered Events in Pottstown with the help of a grant from the Pottstown Area Health and Wellness Foundation.
