    People are out here choosing to eat canned green beans? When you could just as easily eat NOTHING and have roughly the same nutritional value and none of the slimy, masochistic horror show that is canned green beans. (I don’t care for canned green beans).

      I’m no nutritionist, but that seems incorrect based on my cursory Google search. lol

      I actually like canned green beans slightly more than fresh or frozen. It has something to do with the texture, but idk what exactly. Though imo most veggies are definitely better fresh, for some reason I really enjoy canned peas too (I know I’m a weirdo).

        In my opinion, the only acceptable way to eat most vegetables is roasted and seasoned. Frozen vegetables are easier to roast as they are part cooked before frozen.

        If I go to a restaurant and I receive boiled vegetables I won’t go there again. Sick freaks.

          On Thanksgiving, my aunt boils broccoli and potatoes and serves them totally unseasoned. Not even salt. 😢

          It’s one of many reasons why I haven’t gone in years.

        In one half cup serving you get:

        Calories: 15

        Fat: 0

        Sodium: 15mg, 1%

        Total Carbohydrate: 3g, 1%

        Fiber: 1g, 4%

        Protein, 1g

        Calcium, 25mg, 1%

        Iron, 1mg, 6%

        Potassium, 60mg, 2%

        Nutritionally, I don’t think your body will notice if you don’t eat the green beans. But if you like them, by all means (beans)!
