Green beans

 Green beans

  Considered to beans, the third fellow of beans and peas, they are similar in appearance, but differ from them - a lot - in their composition and nutritional value.

Cowpeas are composed of 86.1% and 2.4% protein, 0.2% fatty substances, 7.6% starchy materials, 1.5% fiber, and 2.2% gray matter, and their caloric value is only 35 calories.

Thus, we see cowpeas as poor in their benefits in relation to other similar vegetables, in addition to that they cause intestinal distension, and therefore it is preferable not to eat them in the evening.

We are used to eating cowpeas cooked in oil with "coriander" added to it or accompanied by rice or meat, so it is considered an acceptable material more than a nutritious one.
