French Round beans are smaller than common green beans and have soft and velvety pods. Quite fleshy and 'round' for their size, only tiny seeds inhabit these delicate pods. The sweet, tender and wonderfully crispy taste and texture of these beans are used for a variety of scrumptious dishes. French beans are very low in calories and so calorie-conscious individuals can consume these in good amounts. Additionally, these beans contain minimal amounts of sodium, cholesterol and saturated fats, which makes them the best natural aid for weight loss.
