Green Living Facts Are canned green beans really that good for you?

Question by raven: Are canned green beans really that good for you?
I have been trying to lose weight and was told that I should replace as many carbs as I can with vegetables. I have been eating a lot of canned green beans since they are cheap and easy to prepare but are they really as good for me as I think they are. Since they are canned does that add a ton of calories, salt and preservatives? I am living abroad so the nutrition facts are not on cans here like they are in the USA.

Best answer:

Answer by laneybeans
Fresh veggies have nutrients, most canned goods loose their nutritional value through the canning process. they are mostly water at that point.
