Beans, runner, boiled in unsalted water

Runner beans are a vegetable eaten as whole pods. The figures here describe fresh runner beans with the tops, tails and strings removed, then boiled in unsalted water. They provide fibre, small amounts of carbohydrate and protein, and vitamins including folate and vitamin K. Per 100g, they contain 2.2g of fibre, 1.9g of carbohydrate, 42µg of folate and 26µg of vitamin K.

Fibre supports normal bowel function, while folate is needed for normal cell division and vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting. Beans prepared this way contain only trace amounts of salt. Adding salt, butter or sauces changes the nutritional content, which may be relevant for people monitoring salt, saturated fat or energy intake. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (11 samples, mixture of UK and imported, fresh. Tops, tails and strings removed, boiled for 5-6 minutes). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
