Do not eat French beans raw, as they contain red blood cell coagulant that causes food poisoning.French Beans - Containing protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, vitamins A, B, D and starch. French beans also contain much iron, which aid blood cells production. Vitamin B in them benefits the Qi (vital energy), the spleen and kidneys...before using the french beans wash them under running water. Remove both ends of the beans by either snapping them off or cutting them with a knife. French beans r known as Haricots verts in french...

  1. Looks good and tasy. We make something like this but without the onions. I know that dry vegetables like cabbage, carrots, snake gourd, etc are made with moong dal.
