Nutritional Value of Yardlong Beans
Disease description:
I usually have relatively low immunity, and my doctor advised me to eat more vegetables and fruits. Summer has just arrived, and yard-long beans (string beans) are abundant this season—could you tell me about their nutritional value?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Lei
Cowpeas are highly nutritious, containing abundant vitamins and protein, which help nourish the body and improve gastrointestinal function. They can alleviate vomiting and diarrhea, tonify the kidneys, strengthen the spleen and stomach, relieve abdominal distension or hiccups, treat constipation, enhance immunity, and lower blood glucose levels. They are also highly effective in treating kidney deficiency–related nocturnal emissions and spontaneous ejaculation.
