Hello everyone! I am Dad Fu, a practicing physician. Hope my answer is useful to you.
Fresh broad beans are very delicious and are vegetables with considerable nutritional value. In most countries, broad beans are grown as feed. Only in China, when fresh broad beans are on the market, are they grown as vegetables and are very popular.
As a vegetable, broad beans have the characteristics of most vegetables, including low calories, low fat, and containing dietary fiber, multiple vitamins and minerals. Broad beans also have their own characteristics.
The protein content of fresh broad beans is as high as 8.8, which is relatively high among vegetables. Moreover, broad bean protein has a relatively high content of lysine, which is an essential amino acid for the human body.
Fresh broad beans have very little fat, less than 0.4, which can be ignored. The carbohydrate content is not much, about 19 to 20. Therefore, the calories of fresh broad beans are relatively low. 100 grams of fresh broad beans has about 111 calories. Of course, this calorie is higher than most leafy vegetables, so for people who are losing weight or suffering from diabetes, they should eat less staple food when eating broad beans.
The dietary fiber content is also relatively high, reaching 3.5, of which broad bean skin accounts for at least half. Some people who eat broad beans don’t like to eat broad bean skins. It’s actually a bit wasteful to spit out the skins.
Most of the vitamins and minerals are nothing special. It is worth mentioning that the potassium content of fresh broad beans is relatively high. Potassium helps stabilize blood pressure, but for people with renal insufficiency, too much potassium is not good, so they should eat less broad beans.
In addition, like other vegetables, broad beans also contain a variety of beneficial plant compounds, such as choline, phospholipids, phytohemagglutinins, etc., which are all beneficial to health.
But children must be careful when eating broad beans, especially little boys who eat broad beans for the first time. Some people lack an enzyme called glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and are prone to hemolytic anemia after eating broad beans. The specific pathogenesis is not very clear, but it is mostly seen in boys under three years old who eat broad beans for the first time. Red blood cells rupture and hemoglobin is released into the blood, causing soy sauce-colored hemoglobinuria and symptoms of anemia. When a child eats broad beans for the first time, he should eat a few fewer beans. If he tries it, it will be fine, and then he can eat it more freely in the future.
