Green beans are zen by nature: they have a low glycemic index, strengthen the immune system, counter water retention, help prevent osteoporosis, stimulate the formation of collagen, protect cells from the formation of free radicals … and they have veryfew calories … but above all, they are “zen” because trimming and cleaning them is actually relaxing. This is a typical recipe of Buddhist culture called: “Green bean Namul”.
